InetSoft At A Glance
Product Overview
InetSoft’s BI solution, Style Intelligence, features InetSoft’s proprietary Data Block technology that allows for data mashups from most data sources. The data mashups are done in real-time so that users can access their information as they are available. Users can customize their dashboards, including a variety of chart types (i.e. bar charts, custom geographic mapping, ec), as well as adding new data.
What we like about this program is that no one needs to be an expert in BI analytics to be able to customize dashboards and reports. And the solution is aimed at specific job functions, such as Marketing, Sales, and Supply Chain. For example, Marketing can customize dashboards to track campaigns and leads.
In 2015, InetSoft has launched a Style Scope Agile Edition, a free version of its BI solution. It is intended for smaller companies that can’t afford an enterprise-level solution or a large organization that has one or two dedicated BI/analytics employees. Users can conduct analyses and create dashboards and share them with others via browser or mobile device in a private setting. It is available via download on InetSoft’s site and the Amazon Web Services marketplace. Please note that this version does not include advanced features, such as data modeling, API, unlimited user licenses, and enterprise security functions.
In late 2016, InetSoft launched its latest version of Style Intelligence (Version 12.2) that provides new features and enhancements, such as HTML5 technology and integration of Hadoop technology for big data.

InetSoft provides a dedicated BI project management service – the prospective customer will be assigned an InetSoft project manager who will help assess the BI needs of that customer. InetSoft also provides comprehensive testing, product design and development, and on-site deployment and support.
Inetsoft’s software can be set up in a matter of hours, an average time for most vendors. Once purchased, most customers take about four weeks to implement their first dashboards and reports. This could be shrunk to days if prioritized by the customer. ROI can be seen in under 6 months for most clients, assuming they are able to create dashboards and reports that automate what the company had previously been doing manually with Excel.
