Nquire Software
nQuire led a new class of platform software, providing Internet-based Information Intelligence about and throughout the complete business value chain -- encompassing partners, suppliers, customers and the broad workforce. The nQuire Suite was the first and only product family at the time to meet all "Internet Intelligence Platform" requirements, an important new category of software cited by industry experts as the next generation in business intelligence and information analytics.At the heart of the nQuire Suite was the nQuire Server, providing powerful, high-performance business analytics optimized to support the largest and most complex data warehouses. The real-time edition of the nQuire Server extended this analytic richness beyond the boundaries of the data warehouse, to include detailed and time critical operational data often stored in multiple sources and systems. With the intuitive interface and pure web architecture of nQuire Answers, all members of the business value chain could be provided with self-service access to actionable information that was relevant to their identity and role. With nQuire Delivers, intelligence bots ("iBots") could proactively monitor and perform analytics on vast amounts of data to identify fact-based problems and opportunities, and notify the appropriate individual via web, voice or mobile device.nQuire provided its solutions, including nQuire BI Applications built on top of the nQuire platform, to Global-2000 companies and leading E-Businesses via its direct sales organization and by partnering with other software and service providers looking to add intelligence/analytic functionality to their solutions.nQuire Software, Inc. was a privately held company with primary offices in San Mateo, CA and Minnetonka, MN until it was acquired by Siebel in 2001.
