GSS Group and MicroStrategy Release BullsEye Reporting Suite of 5 Self-Serve Reporting and Analysis Applications

    MARKHAM, ON, December 04, 2009 /24-7PressRelease/ -- GSS Group Inc. and MicroStrategy Incorporated announce the launch of the BullsEye Suite of Self-Serve Reporting and Analysis applications. BullsEye is aimed directly at the SMB market, with 5 applications each offering dashboards, key performance indicators (KPI's), reports and customized ETL, and the option to acquire by subscription.

All BullsEye applications share a single architecture: GSS Group's Vigilance Xpress creates and populates the warehouse tables (in a Dimensional Model structure); MicroStrategy provides the prebuilt reports and the functionality for end-user modifications, changes and additions as well as for report scheduling and delivery.

BullsEye is an end-to-end solution that brings the power of MicroStrategy to a potential client base that has low tolerance for large-scale, expensive projects.

The BullsEye applications include Financials, Sales and Distribution, Sales Force, Customer Analysis and HR Analysis. All are available for a fixed fee or on a monthly subscription basis, and the price includes the services needed to implement the BI solution. John Joynt, President of GSS Group, sees BullsEye projects as delivering business intelligence solutions quickly.

"According to Gartner, at least 60% of any BI project is spent preparing the data mart" says John Joynt. "With Vigilance Xpress, a BullsEye mart can be built and ready to go within 2 weeks. That means the Microstrategy templates can start to deliver analytical value out of that mart very quickly."

All BullsEye applications share a single architecture. Each application is available for a fixed fee or on a monthly subscription basis. You can implement any or all of these applications in any order you choose. In fact, you can even choose which analytical areas within an application you want to implement and their order of implementation.

A series of webcasts is planned to begin in early December.
