Bissantz & Company was founded in 1996 in Nuremberg, Germany. The company initially specialized in solutions for sophisticated data analysis tasks in business environments. Today, it has approximately 100 employees based in three locations in Germany. The company has over 500 customers, primarily in Germany, Austria and Switzerland.
Bissantz targets mid-sized companies and large corporations across all industries to support them in controlling and planning business performance mainly in the DACH region.
DeltaMaster, Bissantz’s flagship product, offers flexible and integrated functionality for (advanced) data analysis (including statistical and data mining methods), ad hoc reporting, dashboards and planning. The strengths of the solution lie in its analytic capabilities, which include good support for proactive analyses as well as automated and predefined analytic methods with comprehensive visualization functions.
The product supports business departments in building detailed BI and CPM applications. DeltaMaster contains little predefined business content and has the characteristics of a development environment that requires no programming. The product specializes in data-dense dashboards that conform to the visualization principles devised by Prof. Edward Tufte, Prof. Rolf Hichert and Bissantz itself. Analyses generally start from a pivot table or a wide range of pre-defined analytical methods.
As a pure front end, DeltaMaster supports direct connections to popular multidimensional databases. Planning applications are typically based on Microsoft SQL Server or Analysis Services. However, write-back to Infor BI OLAP Server, IBM Cognos TM1 and SAP HANA is also possible.
