“When we made the decision to acquire the Oracle BI Applications we knew that we needed an integration partner. We have worked with BICG for many years with OBIEE. They have been on site, and we have worked with them remotely. They have been extremely helpful over the years. We looked to them to be partners with us on the deployment of the Oracle Bi Applications. They provide training, consulting, direction, guidance, and knowledge transfer. BICG provided everything that we needed to be successful..”
