India's Kosmic launches Databeacon in Asia-Pacific
Launch events in Chennai and Mumbai introduce Indian I.T. mid-market to self-serve explorable reporting and data analysis with Databeacon Smart Client 1.1 family of products.

Kosmic Technology Solutions, a division of the Kosmic Group of Companies, this week announces the availability of the Databeacon Smart Client 1.1 family of reporting and data analysis products to the Indian market at separate launch events in Chennai and Mumbai. The announcement seals Kosmic's partnership with Canada's Databeacon Inc. as a Databeacon Certified International Distributor. Databeacon is purpose-built and priced for mid-market companies or departments of larger organizations typical of India that are seeking low cost of ownership, easy integration with existing I.T. infrastructure, fast deployment, and 100% adoption of self-serve explorable reports for better decisions.

"We've never seen a new partner as aggressive and market-ready as Kosmic Technology Group," says Hans Galldin, Databeacon's President and CEO. "Nor have we seen an I.T. landscape as dynamic as India's is right now. This all signals a great partnership with Kosmic."

Leveraging Microsoft's .NET Framework, Databeacon Smart Client Professional and Smart Client Standard offer multiple report viewers to ensure 100% adoption of self-serve explorable reports, unparalleled support for Windows desktop tools, and no-touch deployment. Databeacon's Smart Client family of products adds to its existing Open Client family of products and extends the company's expertise to the rapidly growing opportunity for no-touch deployment software in the mid-market enterprise. All Databeacon software supports multiple server platforms and data sources.

According to analyst group AMI Partners, there are approximately 46,000 Indian mid-market companies with between 100 and 999 employees. Between them, these companies spent $2.91 billion on I.T. in 2004. "Mid-market enterprises want fast, effective, affordable ways to serve the needs of Web-based users," said K.Muthiah, Director, Finance and Marketing, Kosmic Group. "Databeacon's no-touch smart client deployment of explorable reports is a great example of the kind of innovative products Kosmic Technology Solutions is introducing to deliver more value to Indian customers."

"We're most excited by Databeacon's report viewer, called Databeacon Player," says Muthiah. "Leveraging Microsoft .NET, Databeacon Player offers an analytical reporting interface in the style of a multimedia player that millions of both business and casual analytical report users are instantly familiar with. It's a breakthrough in giving absolutely anyone the ability to get insight out of their data."

In a recent study entitled, Profiling the Analytic End User for Business Intelligence, Forrester Research states that the vast majority (86 percent) of analytic end users are consumers of information, rather than producers of analysis. According to Keith Gile, Senior Analyst at Forrester, the key to a successful implementation is targeting the solution to the appropriate end user constituency. "Like it or not, many business and casual users will be forced to produce their own reports. As this occurs, the lines blur between business users and casual users, encouraging departments to select the tools best suited to address the immediate needs of the producers within those departments," says Gile.

Databeacon Smart Client Professional and Smart Client Standard 1.1 use Databeacon's Client OLAP Reporting Environment (CORE) to combine the best of rich client and thin client systems. Combined with the .NET Framework, Databeacon's CORE technology vastly improves Web-based reporting and analysis experiences, while eliminating server loads and providing automatic end-user software upgrades.

The Databeacon Smart Client 1.1 product family extends its Latin-1 (ISO8859-1) language localization support to CJK (Chinese-Japanese-Korean) support, allowing Asian language users to apply advanced analytical capabilities to local language data.

Databeacon Smart Client Standard -- Databeacon Smart Client Standard 1.1 offers "instant-on" deployment of reporting and data analysis from a Microsoft or Linux Web server to any PC with the .NET framework installed. Also included are three viewers designed to ensure 100% adoption: Databeacon Web Reporter for casual use information consumers, Databeacon Player for more frequent data explorers, and Databeacon Insight for power analysts and report designers.

Databeacon Smart Client Professional -- Databeacon Smart Client Professional 1.1 includes all the features of Databeacon Smart Client Standard along with an Application Program Interface (API) that provides a scripting language for creating custom data profiles. It also enables custom portal development and tight integration with existing system interfaces.

De IDC a Forrester Research, y de Siebel a SAP, pasando por los clientes, todo el mundo parece estar de acuerdo en cuanto a las cualidades del desarrollador en materia de integración de datos. Informatica es, sin duda, uno de los principales actores en el campo de los sistemas de toma de decisiones, no obstante, su herramienta de carga de datos únicamente supone la parte visible del iceberg. «La herramienta ETL participa en la integración de datos, a la vez que ella misma es parte integrante de los propios sistemas de información. Nuestra intención es ayudar a las empresas a transformar sus datos en activos estratégicos, a menor precio», explica Didier Guyomarc'h, director general de Informatica.
