About BankBI
BankBI was born out of the desire to deliver the kind of analytics and automated management reporting long desired by the Banking and Credit Union industry, but which conventional methodologies were failing to deliver.
The vision was and is to leverage the efficiencies brought by cloud architecture to deliver an analytics application that is deployed remotely needing no local infrastructure or expensive skills, maintained centrally in a multi-tenant environment, and implemented quickly using a pre-configured data structure.
This finally provides management with the timely, trustworthy information they need, when they need it, and in a low-cost subscription model.
