Delivering business intelligence as an “experience” not just a boring necessity

MIK.starlight suite offers exceptional customisable user interfaces for data analytics and reporting. With our self-service business intelligence solutions, users can easily create their own reports or adapt existing ones, freeing up time and ensuring optimum flexibility.
While content is of course the most important element of a BI solution, the “packaging” and “look and feel” is also a vital – though often underestimated – factor for user acceptance. This is where the MIK.starlight suite is in a league of its own, transforming a boring necessity into an enjoyable experience.

As a result, the MIK.starlight suite enjoys an unprecedented level of critical acceptance for business intelligence applications. Extensive visualisation options including various charts, tables, traffic lights, sparklines etc. support fast and clear presentation of key performance indicators and trends.
MIK.starlight suite also supports a wide range of platforms and requires minimal bandwidth. It is consequently ideal for field service applications and/or use at remote sites. The user interface and functionality are 100% identical on every platform.
