BrightPoint Consulting Teams with Infommersion to Provide Engaging Enterprise Dashboards; Creates Business Intelligence Dashboards for Microsoft .NET Server

Business Wire, July 19, 2005

SAN DIEGO -- BrightPoint Consulting Inc., a full-service business intelligence and data visualization firm, has joined the Infommersion Consulting Partner Program as a certified solution provider. BrightPoint will integrate Infommersion's award-winning Xcelsius software and Microsoft's .Net server platform to deliver end-to-end business intelligence (BI) dashboards and interactive data visualization solutions.

BrightPoint will combine its expertise in SharePoint Portal Server, SQL Reporting Services and .Net Web Services with Xcelsius' point-and-click Visual Modeling(TM) capabilities. This will provide customers with a complete dashboard and business performance package in a fraction of the time it takes to implement other BI dashboard solutions. An added benefit is that customers are able to use their existing off-the-shelf Microsoft server products to create a world-class BI solution.

For example, BrightPoint can create an executive dashboard that is connected to a company's ERP system, providing a convenient way for executives to monitor various aspects of their business, such as key financial, sales and production performance indexes. Xcelsius provides executives with a simple "one-glance" summary of all important business functions.

"After evaluating numerous enterprise software vendors, we chose Xcelsius as the best data visualization product available today," said Tom Gonzalez, founder and managing director of BrightPoint Consulting Inc. "With Xcelsius, we can provide our customers a more powerful dashboard and data visualization solution than we were able to with other competing tools."

"We see BrightPoint Consulting as one of our strategic go-to partners when it comes to providing advanced Xcelsius solutions integrated on top of the Microsoft server stack," said Jaime Zuluaga, manager of Infommersion's Consulting Partner Program. "Business users need forward-looking, corporate dashboards that are tightly integrated with their existing critical business applications. BrightPoint provides customers with a perfect solution to this challenge."
