The Business Intelligence Competency Partners (BICP) completes 3rd Year Anniversary and sees record growth in 2011.

San Diego, CA, January 2012 – Business Intelligence Competency Partners (BICP) is proud to announce our third year anniversary coupled with continued record growth in 2011 and significant upward momentum for 2012. The BICP expanded its market position in 2011 by focusing on high client-value generating Business Intelligence (BI) projects, helping customers with their BI strategies, as well as Business Warehouse (BW) and SAP BusinessObjects assessments, implementations, and upgrades. Building on our great client project success stories we continued to be engaged by many new customers in 2011. BICP also started to expand into implementing SAP Business Intelligence Solutions for the Retail, Oil & Gas, and Chemicals markets.

During 2011 the BICP expanded its services in the rapidly growing SAP BusinessObjects integration space. We noticed companies significantly invested into integrating or replacing their legacy BW reporting with SAP BusinessObjects. Our view is that SAP BusinessObjects reporting for BW platforms has been growing from departmental projects to enterprise programs, and BICP has been leading some of the most complex enterprise-scale projects in this area. We were also able to help many customers with their initial SAP BusinessObjects installations and upgrades.

“For 2012 we see that organizations aggressively overhaul their information investments, drive more value out of their BI solutions, and planning to increase their ‘information maturity’ by more actively leveraging analytical solutions in their day-to-day decision making process. We believe that the BICP’s unparalleled value proposition, its client focused business model, and its proven track record positions BICP for significant growth in 2012,” said Sean Lesher, Partner at the BICP.
