VisualSmart business intelligence selected to combine data from multiple off-site sources

Sacramento, California—January 15, 2006—Synergex®, a mid-market leader in on-demand business intelligence solutions, announced today that RestaurantLink, headquartered in Lawrence, Kansas, has selected VisualSmart business intelligence for creating reports and analytics using data aggregated from multiple off-site sources.

RestaurantLink, which provides specialty services to restaurants, relies on multiple remote data-gathering systems to furnish up-to-the minute pricing information. However, the company requires complex reporting capabilities to segment data and generate custom reports accessible by sales staff, and to furnish proposals to customers. In order to meet the company's reporting requirements, VisualSmart was selected to create an array of specialty on-demand and analysis and reports.

"Our business relies on furnishing current competitive pricing to our customers," said Richard King, RestaurantLink president. "We obtain this information through various non-compatible sources, and processing the data used to be a cumbersome, time-consuming process. Synergex was able to solve our analysis and reporting needs with their proprietary VisualSmart business intelligence application. VisualSmart aggregates the data and delivers the real-time information our customers need for critical decisions."

"VisualSmart provides small and mid-market companies with insight into their operations, financials, and customers to help drive decisions that affect company performance," said David Dickson, VisualSmart general manager. "Getting close to your business shouldn't be restricted just to large enterprises. Beyond a robust BI platform, our standard solution includes a provision to work with one of our certified BI analysts on a monthly basis. This unique approach of combining software and analyst support into a single offering assures our customers that VisualSmart is always relevant to their current business needs. The small and mid-market typically operates with fewer resources, so there is always a need to do more with less—our approach actually provides additional resources they can rely on for expert assistance."
