Fusion5 BI in a BoxBusiness Intelligence (BI) has long dominated CIO wish list, and according to Gartner, it has been their number one priority for the last 2 years. For many companies, the challenges of implementing a BI solution has been a daunting task. System complexity, costly implementation and support, cumbersome user interfaces and complex integration requirements have all been draw backs; however the cost of inaction is also high. Without a strong BI foundation, we typically resort to exporting data in Microsoft Excel or similar, a time consuming, potentially error prone process.

These challenges are common to many organizations that wish to optimize their business processes, decisions and actions, which is why Computer Merchants has teamed up with Fusion5 to introduce BI-in-a-Box -a fully implemented Business Intelligence solution for 10 users that includes all you need for only $200 per user per month.
