From this merger, it seems that BI can see a trend that is increasingly focused on data analysis and the depth of excavation, analysis of the value of the field and competition are increasing.

BI review along the way, M & A cases occur frequently. 2007 was undoubtedly the best heavyweight of the three major M & A event:

BI project success is an accurate grasp of the data, and the business combination and the application of effective promotion. The M & A success or failure depends on customer demand, BI's development can only continue to meet growing customer demand for the. BI, M & A was, that night.
