Weld, president and chief executive officer of SeaTab Software. “The PivotLink name is known to the tens of thousands of people who use PivotLink every day to run their businesses. The brand will scale well as we continue to grow the company and to extend our platform and solution set.”

In particular, we will be able to continue to deliver business intelligence with extremely compelling price/performance to a much broader section of the mid-market, an important and dramatically underserved segment.”

“Our customers achieve stellar results by deploying our business intelligence solutions broadly and deeply among their employees,” said Aaron Burnett, vice president of marketing for SeaTab Software. “We remain dedicated to making BI as powerful, intuitive and easy-to-use for a non-technical business user as it is for an experienced business analyst.
