Halo Business Intelligence

San Diego, CA-based Halo Business Intelligence is a Microsoft Gold Certified company offering a full suite of business intelligence solutions, tailored for small and mid-sized enterprises. Additional offices are in Australia, Austria, China and New Zealand.[1]

History

Initially named Quadrant for Business Information System (Q4BIS), the company was originally founded as an enterprise software developer and consultancy in Auckland, New Zealand in 2001. [2] Created by Microsoft resellers, the software was composed of a dashboard system divided in four sections/quadrants. In 2007 TVC Capital, a San Diego-based venture capital company, purchased Q4BIS and relocated its headquarters to Irvine, CA, subsequently moving to San Diego, California in 2008. In order to get better recognition in new territory the company changed its name to iQ4BIS and expanded its operations, opening offices in Europe, Australia and China. In 2010, CEO Steve Hammerslag recruited Ray Major to become the company’s president and chief operating officer. [3]Before joining iQ4BIS, Major was a senior vice president with The Nielsen Company. In 2012, the company released the Halo Business Intelligence software platform. This platform combines traditional business and financial analytics and reporting with mobile business intelligence, big data visualization, and cloud-based collaboration, built on top of Microsoft’s industry-standard business software. In March 2013, iQ4BIS changed its name to Halo Business Intelligence (Halo BI).[4] Additionally, the company promoted Major to CEO. Halo BI’s previous CEO, Major still remains with the organization as Chief Strategist. March 2013, Keith Peterson is now the CEO. The new CEO has extensive background in product management and business development for data science and predictive analytics businesses. Today, Halo BI has more than 300 customers worldwide in construction, health care, hospitality, manufacturing, professional services and retail [5].
