(PRWEB) November 11, 2009 -- GoodData today announced the launch of the GoodData Solution Provider Program, the next step in the company's mission to broaden the adoption of SaaS business intelligence (http://www.gooddata.com). With over 100 new users registering with GoodData each week, customers are beginning to access reporting and analytics services (http://www.gooddata.com/analytics-service/) historically reserved for companies with dedicated BI staff.

The GoodData Solution Provider Program provides system integrators, implementation providers and independent software vendors technical assistance and go-to-market support to deliver customer analytics (http://www.gooddata.com/customer-analytics/) solutions to their clients.

"My clients are clamoring for greater insight into their customer relationships - more reports, dashboards and the ability to drill into their customer data" said Siva Devaki, Founder and CEO of Mansa Systems. "GoodData helps me deliver customer analytics in the cloud and extend my own business."

"We are excited about bringing the Good Data platform to our customers," said Andrew Grohe at Project Leadership Associates. "It will provide them with a scalable, cost-effective deployment path for their Business Intelligence projects."

"Our clients immediately see the vision and value in GoodData," said Catherine Folkes, Partner at Severn Consulting Group. "The combination of data integration and collaboration allow to them to spend their time evaluating their data for better results were in the past their efforts would have been in buying, creating and building the infrastructure. So often by the time they were done building the infrastructure, it was too late to react to the results."
