Words from the CTO

Bernardo Castilho The Era of Intelligence
Bernardo Castilho, Chief Technology Officer

These days when intelligence is discussed, you may hear the following terms attached: human, artificial, business, digital, or others. It seems we all try, in our way, to comprehend or perceive intelligence at the highest level. In our industry, business intelligence (BI) is part of many conversations and BI tools are becoming increasingly popular.

A key area where ComponentOne fits in with BI is with our ActiveReports product. Self-service reporting is a powerful business intelligence tool and ActiveReports 8 offers an add-on web-based ad-hoc reporting solution that enables business users to easily create interactive reports.

Data overload can happen easily but to transform our data into useful information for business purposes, more and more of us, developers, end-users and IT pros, are looking for self-service BI. If you are in this position as well and are looking to accelerate self-service BI in 2014, put ActiveReports 8 on your list of things to check out in the new year. You'll be amazed how much more effectively your BI comes together with ActiveReports 8 than with other traditional reporting tools. Learn more about ActiveReports 8.
