Comment fromTakahiro Okabe, CEO, Zeal Corporation

"In the past, whenever abusiness intelligence system was rolled out across a company, a large datawarehouse would always be built, with multiple data marts prepared for eachbusiness. No matter how easy the BI tools were to use, there was always abottleneck to construction and operation, so there were always customers whowere unable to fully utilize cross-company data. Infor Birst is a BI productwith groundbreaking functionalities that overturns this accepted norm. In fact,it has been in our sights since it was launched. With this long-awaited,full-scale expansion into Japan, Zeal jumped at the chance to add it to itsofferings."
