eWEEK Chooses Business Intelligence Software from Rapid Insight Inc. as a “2010 Product to Watch”

Rapid Insight® Veera Recognized by eWEEK Editors as a Product that Enterprise IT Decision Makers Should Keep on their Radars

Conway, NH (PRWEB) April 20, 2010

Rapid Insight Inc., a provider of innovative business intelligence software and solutions, announced that eWEEK, the industry leader for strategic technology information, recently identified Veera as a “Product to Watch” in the April issue of its award-winning print magazine.

Each month, the editors of eWEEK recognize enterprise-class products that they think should be on the radar of every IT professional. The products are selected on the basis of their potential for creating efficiency as well as competitive advantage in a market where companies need to stay a step ahead of their competitors. Veera was honored by eWEEK for its ground-breaking means of enabling users to “build and modify reports, create data marts, and generate analytic datasets with drag-and-drop capabilities through a visual data process, which can be run, scheduled, modified, and shared.”

A revolutionary business intelligence tool, Veera makes it possible for users to quickly transform raw data into valuable information, without the need for programming. The analytic process builder empowers users of all abilities to quickly and effortlessly link data from multiple disparate sources—including spreadsheets, databases, and text files—without harming the original data sources and keeping them in their existing locations. Since all of the data processing takes place in-memory, there is no need to import data or to make multiple copies of database tables, files, and spreadsheets.

“We are thrilled that Veera has been named a 2010 Product to Watch,” says Michael Laracy, CEO of Rapid Insight. “This recognition further reinforces the positive feedback we’ve been hearing from our customers – that Veera fills a huge gap that is not being addressed by any analytic tools in the marketplace.”

In a relatively weak economy, Rapid Insight has seen strong demand for its new technology. “Companies are required to do more with less in the present economic environment,” says Laracy. “All business decisions need to be data-driven, and gone are the days when you had the luxury of waiting several weeks for the answer to an ad hoc query.”

Veera provides a way for programmers and non-programmers alike to unlock their data’s potential and to make important data-based decisions with confidence. Analytic reporting processes can be saved, shared, and modified so that users don’t need to reinvent the wheel each time they run or modify a report.

The IT Management “Products to Watch” article appears in the April 5, 2010, edition of eWEEK.
