From its humble beginnings more than 20 years ago in Denmark, today TARGIT is one of the world’s premier business intelligence and analytics software companies and maker of the TARGIT Decision Suite.

The company has since expanded their footprint with inventive new business intelligence and analytics capabilities for all technological platforms, a global community of partners and resellers, and loyal customer base.

TARGIT is headquartered in Denmark and has a U.S. subsidiary with offices in Boston, Tampa, Fla, and Houston, Texas. Additionally, there are distribution offices in more than 12 countries worldwide.
