iq4bis Optimizes Analytical Data for A Growing Cianna Medical
Implementation Serves as Beta for Specialized Solution for Microsoft Dynamics GP Business Essentials

IRVINE, Calif., March 10, 2008 – iQ4bis Software Inc., a global software provider that offers an end-to-end business intelligence solution for business managers and executives in midmarket enterprises, today announced that Cianna Medical, a women's health company dedicated to the innovative treatment of early-stage breast cancer, has implemented iQ4bis as the answer to its business intelligence (BI) challenges. Cianna also served as the beta customer for the iQ4bis for Microsoft Dynamics GP Solution, which translates data from the popular enterprise resource planning (ERP) system into a rapidly deployed, comprehensive, extensible and easily maintained analysis solution.

“We viewed an early implementation of iQ4bis as strategic, knowing that it was essential for us to have robust business analysis and reporting tools early in the game,” said Hugh Neuharth, chief financial officer for Cianna Medical. “The ROI for our company is based on getting in front of sales and marketing analysis challenges, but we’ve been able to leverage iQ4bis far beyond that, which is really the icing on the cake.”   

“Because we are at an early stage in our business, it is extremely critical that we have the ability to analyze information in our sales and marketing operations and make informed business decisions fast,” said Charles Bracken, vice president of sales for Cianna. “Immediate access to data allows us to instantaneously identify field sales opportunities that were not readily visible before, and then quickly evaluate and deploy resources to maximize the company’s revenue growth. The system is quick and intuitive and immediately puts business-critical information at the fingertips of our field sales team and company management, enabling more-informed decisions.”

Cianna implemented iQ4bis for use mainly in sales and marketing, but has since used the technology in other areas as well, including finance and operations. Based on this deployment, iQ4bis developed the iQ4bis for Microsoft Dynamics GP Solution that includes Sales, Finance, Purchasing and Inventory modules which are ready for production use straight out of the box.

“With this product, the time-consuming and expensive specification, design and development work is already complete at the start of the project,” said Siegfried Plommer, chief operating officer and general manager of iQ4bis.  “Since the core business logic is already in place, there is more time to devote to using and expanding the system, rather than developing a solution from the ground up. With this type of rapid implementation, users can start analyzing their business within hours, rather than days or weeks.”

With the easiest-to-use browser interface in the business intelligence industry, iQ4bis offers a robust, intuitive software application that helps decision makers understand and identify business trends, variances and issues at their root cause. Using standard Microsoft technologies and platforms, complex data is aggregated on the back end then presented in a simple, easily viewable format through a standard browser interface. Rapid and fixed-price deployments allow midmarket enterprises to realize the value of business intelligence at a fraction of the cost of similar products used by larger companies.
