Benefits in a Nutshell

You've got a problem. It's a good problem but it's still a problem. Your customers all love your application solution but, the deeper they get into it, the more they are pressing you for an analytic solution that helps them really get to grips with the information in your application's database. What's more the pressure is most intense your highest volume, most sophisticated and most valuable customers, so it's a top company priority to solve the problem.

As with all problems, you've got several solutions but they all seem to have significant pain and downside to them both for you and your customers. You've got three basic solutions open to you:

Professional Services - maybe this problem is really a professional services opportunity? Well, maybe but do you really want to end up supporting custom reporting and query solutions for all of your major customers?

Expose a Reporting API - this sounds like a good solution, you just expose an API and the customers do the work. The problem is that your customers are looking to you for an easy to use, quick to implement SaaS based solution not a toolkit that leaves them developing and maintaining their own reporting and query

Add an Analytics Capability - you know that this is the right long-term solution and that it opens up new revenue opportunities but how do you deliver this capability from a development team that's already stretched to breaking point and that isn't expert in developing reporting and analytic solutions?

That's where Kickfire comes in. With our purpose built data warehousing appliance, you can deliver an appliance or SaaS based solution in weeks not months. Furthermore, because Kickfire's industry standard architecture is supercharged with a purpose built SQL Chip and the industry's most efficient data compression techniques; you'll be delivering levels of performance that will delight your customers.
