Panorama Software, a global leader in business intelligence (BI) solutions for the Microsoft platform, today announced further expansion of the companyÂ’s Asia Pacific operations. The expansion includes establishing strategic partnerships and broadening its client base.
“We are very excited about the opportunities in the Asia Pacific market,” said Gil Nizri, Managing Director, Asia-Pacific, Panorama Software. “It has become an international investment region where many foreign companies have set up branches, research centers, manufacturing plants and sales offices. We are pleased to help organizations like these access information and help them make better business decisions from any location at anytime.”
Panorama created a strategic partnership with RINPAK, a leading software provider of function-rich solutions for retailers around the world, to be one of its lead distributors in this rapidly growing market. This partnership has introduced Panorama to new clients such as Versace (Hong Kong and PeopleÂ’s Republic of China) where they will implement RINPAKÂ’s Retail Domain Knowledge and PanoramaÂ’s flagship product, Panorama 4.5. This integrated solution extends Microsoft SQL Server 2005 capabilities and allows retailers such as Versace to create an automated merchandising system, track customer behavior and employee performance and provide multiple currencies, taxation, languages and multi-dimensional analysis.
“For the past ten years, many local enterprises have implemented solutions such as Enterprise Resource Planning, Customer Relationship Management, and Point of Sales,” said Kent Chen, CEO, RINPAK. “These companies have now reached the point where they need business intelligence tools to gain more visibility in order to make the right decision at the right time. RINPAK and Panorama are implementing innovative BI solutions and products for the Microsoft platform that are changing the way people do business.”
Panorama has also secured a strategic partnership with Raymark, a retail integrated solution provider specializing in fashion retail. RaymarkÂ’s solution works in conjunction with RINPAKÂ’s Retail Domain Knowledge and PanoramaÂ’s BI solutions.

PanoramaÂ’s partner RINPAK has also partnered with Covics who is concentrated in Short Messaging Service (SMS). In China, many enterprises are using SMS to deliver sales data back to headquarters. Panorama is collaborating with its Asian partners, to develop performance dashboards which can be viewed on cellular phones based on 3G technology.
“Panorama continues to be a global leader in BI solutions by expanding our partner ecosystem and leveraging our flagship product Panorama 4.5,” said Nizri. “Our new strategic partnerships and clients in the Asia Pacific market allow us to demonstrate our vision and in turn enable them to execute their strategic business goals.
