Leading independent BI vendor, Dimensional Insight, demonstrates ability to perform alongside major BI conglomerates in Aberdeen AXIS Report on Business Intelligence: Reporting and Analytics.

(PRWEB) June 21, 2009 -- Dimensional Insight, a leading independent provider of dashboard, reporting and analytics software and services announced today its inclusion in the Business Intelligence: Reporting & Analytics (BIRA) AXISTM Report released by Aberdeen Group, a Harte-Hanks Company (NYSE:HHS). Aberdeen's AXISTM is a report that provides a competitive intelligence perspective that allows organizations insight into the technology providers that helped leading companies achieve superior performance. Recognized as a 'Contender' in the business intelligence space, Dimensional Insight has exhibited the ability to consistently deliver value to its users by ensuring the achievement of measurable value for their investment while also demonstrating the ability to continually support and service its rapidly expanding user community.

Of the scores of companies present in the business intelligence industry, Dimensional Insight was acknowledged for its performance alongside twelve of the industry's most recognized vendors. Vendors were evaluated based on their ability to provide customers with reporting and analytics solutions that enabled the improved management of KPIs and business outcomes.

"The Aberdeen AXIS Methodology evaluates vendors in a critical area; their ability to provide tangible and measurable value to their users. Aberdeen's philosophy of letting end-user organizations 'speak' for themselves is truly the differentiator between the AXIS and other analyst-driven reports. Our customers have been able to achieve Best-in-Class status because we empower them with all the tools necessary to rapidly deploy BI applications, automate the report generation process, and manage total cost of ownership," states Lauren McCollem, Director of Marketing for Dimensional Insight.

"With the launch of Dimensional Insight's The Diver Solution™ 6.2, the latest version of our highly integrated business intelligence suite, users are going to be even better equipped to influence the decision-making process in business-critical areas," explains Frederick A. Powers, President & CEO of Dimensional Insight. "Ensuring that users have access to information is just part of the BI equation. Organizations need to focus on bringing BI to the next-level by making this information actionable so users can make decisions that take the organization in the right direction - it's a highly complex task and traditional BI vendors have historically fallen short in this area. Our latest release addresses this issue making it easier for end-users to make an impact."

"Dimensional Insight is unique among the solution providers covered in this AXIS report," states David Hatch, Vice President and Group Director at Aberdeen Group. "The company has been developing and marketing its BI reporting and analytics solutions for two decades, during which time no outside funding or acquisitions have distracted from the primary objective of delivering technology that is truly customer-driven. This has also allowed Dimensional Insight to integrate and automate the full continuum of data management - from data collection and integration, all the way through to information deliver via dashboards, reports and analytic applications."
