Pinnacle Renames/Launches ThinkFast Consulting

Pinnacle Solutions Inc, one of the largest full service providers of integrated business intelligence (BI) solutions dedicated to the strategic deployment of BI throughout and beyond the enterprise, introduced the introduction of its new name, ThinkFast Consulting Inc www.thinkfast.com.

The selection of the name "ThinkFast" further extends the organization's commitment to quickly leverage information as a strategic asset by providing fast access to relevant and structured information sources through the use of market-proven analytical applications integrated with data warehouse repositories.
