"We saw the momentum in the market as being with Microsoft and were looking for a way to enter the market quickly and with tools that add tremendous value to our customers," comments Louis Peacock, Managing Director, ProfitBase UK. "The downward pressure on the market, combined with commoditization that has happened, has altered the market significantly. Using the traditional data warehouse deployment approach is just no longer a viable option in most instances. Skills are scarce and in the current economic environment businesses are looking for solutions that will deliver business value quickly and cost effectively with very little risk. IT budgets have been slashed but the need for information is now a business imperative. ProfitBase enables us to deliver on this promise and we see an exciting time ahead for us in this market.
