What if the best BI software is available to you (an SMB) for free...?
pakella@... 29th Jun 2011
The posting got my attention as a marketer of business software to SMB companies. The original author had his points right ??? BI is for companies of all sizes. BI is now accessible by companies of all sizes.

Since the conversation hadn???t really progressed, I thought I would gain the benefit of your thinking by making a significant assumption (???that the best BI software available in the market is yours for free???) and ask the following questions:
1. If you could use this excellent BI software for free, what would you do with it?
2. How would it impact your SMB business? What would some key measures be?
3. What sort of training do you believe you or your people will need to be successful?

Best,

Contrary to assumptions of many small and medium sized business owners, business intelligence is not a fancy word meant for boardrooms of large corporates - it is as important for smaller businesses as it is for larger.

It is also a myth that business intelligence can only be accomplished by allocating huge budgets. Thanks to the efforts of professional business intelligence solution providers, even small business owners can now have economical access to financial benchmarking and other business intelligence tools.
If you're going to post spam, it's pretty pointless without a link to your BI site. If it's not spam, I hope you find something better to do at 2:00 am. Do you work nights?

You can't but them but are born with them. Looks like there is no hope for you I'm afraid.

Imagine the look on his face after 100 or so of thse across sites and then missing the payload.

Priceless.

For all we know the app is still running and he thinks it's getting the link out. His outfit may know about BI but it doesn't know squat about spamming, a skill easily acquired by even the most technically challenged third-world con artists.
considering!
You're probably right. Any firm this inept probably couldn't figure out how to use an auto-spamming utility.
It drew me in. The moment, however, your path led to "providers" and not to solutions was the moment you convinced me you are a miserable excuse for a "professional".

...BO seems to be more common than BI in many organizations.
