VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA, Apr 24, 2012 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) —
Visier Inc., an innovation leader in delivering workforce analytics
through the cloud, today was named one of Canada’s “Top 25 Up And
Comers” in the 2012 Edition of the Branham300. The 25 companies in
this category are selected based on creativity and innovation,
whether in a new technology area, or optimizing existing technology
in an innovative manner.
The Branham300 is the most comprehensive listing of the top publicly
traded and privately held organizations operating in the Canadian
Information and Communication Technology (ICT) industry.
“With the lingering effects of the economic downturn all but gone in
2011, the Canadian ICT industry generated impressive growth over the
past year in order to set a new Branham300 revenue record,” said
Wayne Gudbranson, President and CEO of Branham Group. “Canada’s
largest tech players as well as companies within the SMB segment
closed strong fiscal 2011 campaigns, an indication that companies of
all sizes experienced the market rebound. Looking forward, Branham
expects the industry to build on its 2011 performance and post strong
single-digit growth in 2012.”
Founded in 2010 by business intelligence experts, including former
Business Objects CEO, John Schwarz, the leadership team has a proven
track record of technical, operational and strategic management
success with companies including Business Objects, Crystal Decisions,
SAP, IBM and Symantec. Visier was founded on the notion that
traditional analytic approaches are too costly, and prone to failure.
Visier pioneered a new solution centric approach – analytic
applications – that starts with the most important business insights
an organization needs. Through in-memory technology to incorporate
any data, and a highly visual and intuitive interface organizations
can finally bring analytics to the entire organization.
Visier’s first analytic application is designed to empower HR
professionals with the most critical insights they need. HR
organizations have always understood that people are the most
important and complex asset in the company. Until now, they have
lacked the solutions to provide the necessary insights to optimize
their people strategy to meet their business strategy.
“2011 was a breakout year for Visier and to be named to Canada’s Top
25 Up Comers list is a testament to all the hard work and
innovative thinking of the entire Visier team, as well it also
validates our place in the market,” said John Schwarz, Founder and
CEO of Visier, adding, “we are very proud to be recognized, amongst
the best of the best in Canadian information technology.”
The Branham300 2012 results are also published on the Branham300
website, as well as in the April/May edition of Backbone Magazine,
circulated in the Globe Mail.
