With Birst, federal agencies get the power of on-premise BI, but with the speed and agility of the cloud.

Coupled with its dedication to a high standard of data security, Birst's cloud solution can be deployed on a FedRAMP-authorized cloud service provider, reassuring federal agencies that their data is secure, and saving significant time, costs and resources typically required in the selection and deployment of a traditional on-premise BI software solution. The Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP) is a government program that provides a standardized approach to security assessment, authorization, and continuous monitoring for cloud products and services. As a Birst Alliance Program partner, Intelligent Consulting's team of experts will work directly with government IT departments to implement Birst's award-winning BI solution, delivering a single, powerful platform for advanced analytics. Birst offers enterprise-class capabilities, including integrated ETL, data warehouse, and advanced data visualization in a cost effective way with a faster time-to-value and at a significantly lower total cost of ownership. Now, federal agencies can take advantage of all the benefits cloud BI offers, including greater scalability, rapid deployment, and ease of use. "Federal agencies are increasingly under pressure to reduce operating costs and increase efficiency. One way to achieve this objective is to leverage BI to maximize cost and performance accountability. Unfortunately, the current cadre of BI software vendors comes with high very brick and mortar delivery and maintenance costs. By partnering with Birst, Intelligent Consulting can provide a class-leading BI solution at a lower cost and with a faster time to deployment," said Paul Lim, Managing Principal, Intelligent Consulting. "In other words, we can empower the government to meet its goals without the 'baggage' that comes from high-cost on-site BI software deployments." "Federal agencies deserve a secure, enterprise-ready cloud BI solution that provides maximum return on investment. Our partnership with Intelligent Consulting brings significant value to federal IT departments that want a BI solution that is quick to deploy, easy to use, and offers a full suite of capabilities," said Sharon Gordon, Vice President of Birst Alliances and Technology Partnerships. "We're pleased to have the Intelligent Consulting team as part of the Birst Alliance and look forward to bringing Birst to the public sector."
