ATLANTA, March 18 /PRNewswire/ -- Bitam, a Software 500 Company and global
provider of Enterprise Performance Management (EPM) solutions, including
Business Intelligence (BI), Financial Planning, and Strategic Planning,
announces its Software as a Service (SaaS) Business Intelligence platform.
SaaS is one of the fastest growing segments of the information technology (IT)
industry because it provides a more cost-effective alternative for enterprises
to achieve their business objectives than traditional packaged applications.
The new Bitam offering will provide companies access to Bitam's suite of EPM
solutions via the Web using pay-as-you-go convenience. The software includes
the ability to create customized and operational dashboards that incorporate
business metrics and Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) for visualizing actual
performance against plan with graphs, charts and tables.
Small and medium sized companies can benefit from Bitam next generation
software, Bitam G6, with a lower cost of entry, speedier deployment, higher
return, and more comprehensive functionality at a base price.
"Many small to medium-sized businesses (SMBs) are turning to the SaaS BI
model as a cost-effective alternative to complex and expensive analytic
reporting solutions. We are very pleased to expand our product offerings so
that any company, of any size, can reap the benefits of the robust features
and functionality found in Bitam G6," says Antonio Rajan, US Northeast
Manager. "Our goal is to eliminate the barriers for customers to deploy BI
solutions, but still for customization and in-depth analysis to make better
business decisions."
Bitam's SaaS offering is a hosted application that provides preconfigured
models for a monthly fee per user. With this plan, companies don't have to
incur the typical costs associated with large-scale installations or
implementations within their organization. The software powers the metrics
that enable performance reporting, governance, and accountability that help
businesses analyze, plan, and manage their operations to meet business
critical goals.
Bitam launched the new SaaS functionality at the AccountMate Business
Partners Synergy Show in San Francisco, California on March 15, 2008.
