BIMA
BIMA was developed as a tool to enable organizations to manage analytical master data
BIMA enables the management of data to enrich analytic solutions. Through the implementation of BIMA organizations move the management of analytical data from the technical processes and authoring tools to a secure and business centric process. This in turn results in analytical solutions that are aligned to the needs of the business and are more cost effective to maintain.
BIMA is a mature SaaS product, developed in 2010, and has benefited from the feedback provided by a broad user-community. It is delivered as an on-premises managed solution and billed through a monthly subscription.
