BA-Insight Unveils Search for Business Intelligence Product to Be Released in Conjunction With Microsoft's Forthcoming SharePoint Office 2007 for Search

WHITE PLAINS, N.Y., May 23, 2006 — BA-Insight, an Innovator in Information Access Solutions and Microsoft ISV Partner announced today its product roadmap, confirming its planned support for the release of Microsoft SharePoint Office 2007 for Search later this year.

"With last Wednesday's official announcement of Microsoft's product roadmap in the area of Enterprise Search, BA-Insight can now comment on supporting this new product line," says Martin Muldoon, VP Marketing. BA-Insight's flagship product Longitude will not only support SharePoint Office 2007 Server, but extend its capabilities by offering users the ability to integrate, find, and analyze information out-of-the-box.

What is significant about this product is that it gives companies the ability to quickly configure data source integration, such as ERP, CRM, or custom applications, without the need for extensive system integration work. With a few keywords, end-users can access key business insight, such as sales trend for a division, via the self-service SharePoint Search interface. "BA-Insight's search solution built on SharePoint beats the Google OneBox offering in terms of functionality depth, time of deployment and user experience. Enterprises of all sizes need professional tools to serve their search needs: BA-Insight is mission-critical enterprise software," says Philippe Chambadal, Founder of MetaMatrix, leader in Enterprise Information Integration.

Data can also be analyzed in any of the rich client interfaces that Microsoft provides. "There is no such thing as one size fits all when analyzing data. For example, a Financial Analyst lives in excel whereas a Business Decision Maker will prefer a dashboard or search interface," says Muldoon.

As a Microsoft Partner, BA-Insight is uniquely positioned to deliver such an innovative solution based on Microsoft technology. By leveraging the Microsoft platform, BA-Insight can focus 100% of its resources on innovation. "When in comes to partnering with Microsoft, these guys get it," says Edward O'Connor, co-author of Partnering With Microsoft.

With this announcement, customers should feel confident that BA-Insight is aligned with Microsoft product roadmap and will continue to add significant value on top of the SharePoint platform.

BA-Insight is a privately owned company based in White Plains, New York. The company is a Microsoft ISV Partner and offers Information Access Solutions on top of Microsoft SharePoint. For more information or a live demo, visit our web site at http://www.ba-insight.net
