"DATAllegro has assembled a highly collaborative group of the most recognized and credentialed DW and BI minds and I am just excited to be a part of BIEN," said William McKnight of McKnight Associates. "DW and BI continue to maintain a growing sense of interest in the marketplace and for good reason - bottom-line business benefit from the most recognized source of modern value - company data. With BIEN and their offering, DATAllegro is positioning themselves to command a leadership position in the industry for years to come." "BIEN is central to DATAllegro's strategy of providing our customers with the highest quality product, support and resources," said Kim Stanick, VP Product Marketing at DATAllegro. "We're honored to have close affiliation with these long-standing industry experts. As a young company, the ability to tap the extensive knowledge of such gurus is a wonderful and rare opportunity." BIEN collectively represents hundreds of years of experience, covering the gamut of data warehouse and business intelligence skills.
