Leading provider of data integration software for SAP, BOARD International, is reinforcing its strategic focus on the US with its new dual headquarters located in Boston in addition to the company’s longstanding Chiasso, Switzerland location.
“The year 2016 has seen tremendous growth for BOARD both in Europe and the US, and our strategic plans call for elevating our US revenues to at least 50 per cent of corporate revenues by 2019,” said BOARD CEO, Giovanni Grossi. “A Boston headquarters underscores our strategic commitment to that US growth with adequate space, staffing and funding to accommodate our rapid growth and expanded enterprise customer base.”
BOARD offers an integrated toolkit approach either on-premise or in the cloud to enable organisations to harness data from multiple sources from relational databases to cloud applications and from Big Data to cloud data stores. BOARD has designed a set of pre-built dedicated data connectors that minimise the time and effort required to access popular data sources such as SAP.
The BOARD SAP Connector enables users to easily access complex SAP data and use it in a single visual and interactive environment. These solutions can be made available enterprise-wide or they can be implemented for one specific area of the company only, such as Finance or Marketing, enabling non-technical users to access their complex SAP data, easily, flexibly and accurately.
BOARD, now on track to exceed 100 per cent growth by the end of the year, has deployed its BI and corporate performance management software platforms at such leading North American companies as Volkswagen, Eversource, Advanced Micro Devices, Cheesecake Factory, Harry & David, BioMarin Pharmaceuticals and Zales Jewelers.
“BOARD’s adoption by so many multi-billion dollar enterprises in the US has been another reason to co-locate our headquarters here in Boston,” said Scott Jennings, general manager, BOARD Americas.
BOARD attributes its explosive growth to increasing understanding of the importance of a unified enterprise-wide software platform for planning, forecasting and BI analytics that support data-driven decision making enterprise-wide.
