DALLAS–(BUSINESS WIRE)–

The Special Interest Group for IIAS Standards (SIGIS) has selected
Instant Access to provide instant and affordable SAP
BusinessObjects training and support.

“We didn’t have the budget to bring in consultants or trainers for a
three-week stint. We just needed a few hours of support on occasion,”
said Jeff Beadle, executive director of SIGIS.
“Instant Access serves a market that is completely underserved. With
their chat-based service, we can now get knowledgeable support as we
need it, when we need it, and for a much more affordable price. Without
Instant Access, we would not reach the full potential of our system and
maximize our investment.”

Unlike traditional support models for BI tools – including training, IT
support and consulting – Instant Access offers personal business
intelligence mentorship when it matters most, in an easy-to-access
format.

“Our goal is to help users at organizations like SIGIS quickly achieve
their business intelligence and analytics deliverables, while teaching
them how to handle future scenarios,” said Marty Carney, CEO of Instant
Access and WCI Consulting, a business intelligence firm. “Instant Access
solves problems via instantaneous, low-cost means end-user instruction.
The ultimate result is increased productivity with BI platforms like SAP
BusinessObjects.”

Participating users contact Instant Access business
intelligence experts via a live chat tool through the company’s
Website, or through an integrated chat function in their BI application
of choice. There are no service levels or tickets. Users receive instant
BI mentorship.
