The economic buyer Customer profile IT departments in any size organization – maintain business systems across their organization. Mandated to make information accessible to all users. Small ISVs & VARs – incorporate reporting in the custom-built applications they deploy on their client’s site, App will be used also by to external users. Small OEMs (under $100M in annual revenue) – embed reporting in the applications they build and commercialize; Current business challenges Deploying reports with their application over the web to external users such as customers, partners and vendors is expensive - buy one report designer license for each user accessing the app. The licensing cost for their application becomes prohibitive as more users access the app. Don’t do enough business to afford negotiating their own OEM agreement; Licensing cost is a barrier for deploying reporting applications externally
