“BARC THE BI Survey 16 is the world’s largest and most comprehensive survey of business intelligence end users, so we’re delighted that prevero has again performed strongly over the last year and secured an impressive number of THE BI Survey 16 top rankings,” commented prevero’s CEO Alexander Springer. “This is the third year in a row that prevero has featured in BARC’s BI Survey, and we’re particularly proud that our rankings are the direct result of feedback from our own end-users. The fact that we were listed top in Flexibility for Users and Agility, also confirms prevero’s commitment to delivering solutions that help take our users beyond the limitations of traditional self-service BI.”
