This, together with improved support for multiple database types greatly optimizes business operations of ActiveAnalysis.”

“ActiveAnalysis provides many analysis capabilities provided by the big names in BI.  Its brilliance is shared equally between the powerful analysis engine and the elegant user interface.  If you are not already a fan of ActiveAnalysis I invite you to download, evaluate and see for yourself.” said Rick Williamson, GrapeCity PowerTools General Manager.
