ISoftStone Releases Platform to Speed BI Deployment

Seattle-based iSoftStone has announced RapidStart, a suite of software it says is designed to help customers build, deploy and manage new technologies more efficiently.

The platform includes pre-built code that can be leveraged across a variety of application scenarios to provide a consistent architecture and a set of fully tested components to build scalable solutions, iSoftStone says. The company explains that it uses a structured approach and methodology for data integration across disparate data sources to minimize inefficiencies from developing BI applications, enhance the capture and reusability of ETL metadata, and reduce maintenance efforts.

"Our new RapidStart line-up is yet another way in which iSoftStone is constantly innovating to deliver high-quality software and services to our customers worldwide," says Tianwen Liu, iSoftStone's Chairman and CEO, in a statement. "Business Intelligence is one of our key focus areas globally. We will continue to invest in software and services that make the application of these complex technologies easier for our customers."
