Brio Announces Impact Enhancements

Brio Technology Brio.Impact 4.0, an upgraded version of the industry's first analytic application designed specifically for revenue optimization. Available immediately, Brio.Impact 4.0 includes an integrated extraction, transformation, and loading (ETL) capability for faster implementation that reduces deployment time by as much as one third.

With the new release, Brio has entered a partnership with Systemfabrik, headquartered in Hamburg, Germany, to integrate data extraction, transformation, and loading capabilities into Brio.Impact. Systemfabrik's Warehouse Workbench provides a critical set of functionality to ensure that the data used to drive Brio.Impact analyses and reports has been cleaned, transformed, and loaded reliably and efficiently. It also provides a robust set of capabilities to enable data to be combined from any number of source systems.

"Systemfabrik provides us with the rich and complex transformations necessary for revenue optimization," said Arun Shah, vice president and application business unit manager at Brio. "The integration of our technologies enables us to provide our customers with a complete, end-to-end solution and has helped us to reduce the time to implement the application by as much as one third." "Brio.Impact addresses a complex business problem that requires that the right set of data be available in the right form at the right time," said Gerrit Kalb, CEO of systemfabrik. "With the integration of our ETL technology into Brio.Impact, customers will not only be assured of having the right data but they will be able to more quickly reap the benefits of Brio.Impact."

In addition to the integration of ETL capabilities, Brio.Impact 4.0 features a number of new features that are targeted to enhance a user's experience with the product. The new version features enhanced and simplified graphical user interfaces (GUIs), streamlined enrichment tools and customized news pages. Brio.Impact's enhanced and simplified administration GUIs minimize the time and cost for the IT staff, while new publisher GUIs use metrics, graphs and report pages.
