5. How does Databeacon’s smart client approach to Web Reporting and Data Analysis support its Mid-market positioning?

Databeacon has designed and built its products to meet the needs of the Mid-market Web Reporting and Data Analysis solutions by focusing on four major needs — fast deployment, increased adoption, easy integration and low cost of ownership. To meet these needs, Databeacon designed an innovative and alternative approach to client/server data analysis.

Instead of continual requests to the server for data manipulation and graphics rendering, Databeacon performs a one-time publication and delivery of the data, prepared explorable reports and analysis software to the operational manager’s PC.

This distributed model leverages the processing power on the network, eliminating the need for server upgrades. The server is left to handle other applications. With today’s bandwidth and sophisticated browsers, Databeacon’s network-centric smart client approach allows Mid-market organizations to publish data and provides Web reporting solutions to anyone connected to the Internet, with no end-user training or software installation required.

When it concerns software, Mid-market enterprises and departments of larger organizations choose Databeacon because it delivers the following benefits:

• Speeds deployment by offering accelerated project delivery with rapid ROI
• Increases adoption of reporting and analysis as a business tool for managing costs and increasing revenues
• Eases integration by leveraging existing I.T. infrastructure
• Lowers cost of ownership for reporting and analysis (minimal acquisition, minimal ongoing administrative costs, minimal training costs, low resource level impact)
