Organizations looking to harness the value of their databases and applications and transform the data into usable, business-critical information can do so quickly and affordably with Logi 8, a new interactive, Web-based business intelligence platform from LogiXML (www.logixml.com). Logi 8 is a pure Web-based, unified and XML-based solution that offers robust BI functionality, including managed and ad hoc reporting, OLAP analysis and BI data services, accessible by technical and non-technical users in organizations of all sizes.

Logi 8's open, standards-based architecture makes it easy to implement and easy to use. Organizations can have sophisticated, enterprise-class reporting applications up and running on Logi 8 in hours, as opposed to the weeks or months it can take to deploy legacy BI products. Logi 8 empowers users at all technical levels and across all functional groups in an organization by allowing them to access, analyze and share business information through BI capabilities optimized for specific user groups.

Logi 8 offers organizations a compelling value proposition that combines depth and breadth of product and pure Web-based design with an aggressive pricing and licensing model that supports scaling BI implementations to serve many users in an organization. Companies license Logi 8 on a per server basis, instead of per seat, at an affordable price point, which makes it far more cost-effective than competitive offerings -- in some cases, up to 80 percent less expensive. The pure Web-based design of the Logi 8 platform means that it is optimized for interactive reporting and that reports are accessible by the full range of Web-access devices, including innovative products like the new Apple iPhone.

"Historically, Business Intelligence applications have been seen as a rare commodity, restricted for use by senior managers and business analysts," said Arman Eshraghi, founder and CEO, LogiXML. "What good is a BI solution that only puts information in the hands of a select few? Logi 8 is a platform that makes business critical information accessible by everyone from power users to technology novices. Across the board, it helps users make more informed business decisions."

The Logi 8 Platform consolidates key capabilities to enhance pure Web-based BI like AJAX support for interactive reporting and .NET 2.0 support for increased performance and scalability. The Logi 8 Platform also makes it easy for organizations to deliver a full range of BI functions built on one consistent architecture at a dramatically lower price point compared to current market share leaders.

The Logi 8 Unified BI Platform includes:

--  Logi 8 Info: A complete managed reporting solution for corporate
    report developers featuring powerful dashboards for personalized
    information at-a-glance.  Logi 8 Info's Analysis Grid lets report
    developers maintain control over data tables, while putting the power of
    casual analysis into the hands of any user.  Logi 8 Info also offers
    innovative heat maps that use size and color to let users visualize complex
    information easily.
    
--  Logi 8 Ad Hoc: A self-service Web-based reporting solution for non-
    technical business users to get critical business information quickly and
    easily.  Logi 8 Ad Hoc also features easy navigation and data source
    selection, as well as customizable report formatting.
    
--  Logi 8 OLAP: A Web-based cube viewer for fast analysis of OLAP cubes
    designed for all business users.  Logi 8 OLAP provides advanced, drillable
    charting capabilities, as well as sophisticated and flexible security, that
    allow users to take advantage of both Microsoft Analysis Services Security
    and the Logi 8 security model.
    
--  Logi 8 Mart: An easy to implement data mart for fast delivery of BI
    and reporting information.  Its powerful embedded database isolates data
    from operational data sources for efficient reporting and analysis
    performance.  It adds a secure data layer between operational data and the
    reporting server, taking the load away from the data servers and allowing
    organizations to cache part of their data for faster access.  Logi 8 Mart
    also supports real-time data to keep reports fresh and relevant.
    

"Our customers look to us for intuitive dashboards and reports that will help increase the productivity of their sales force," says Steven Schneider, CEO of OnDemandIQ, a fast growing sales management software firm. "With the new Logi 8 release, we can quickly and easily create custom reports and applications that give our customers access to vital company information."
