Info Sol Finance & Administration

What Info Sol Finance & Administration does

InfoSol Inc. is a privately held, Phoenix-headquartered consulting and software firm founded in 1997 by Paul Grill that has spent more than two decades focused exclusively on the SAP BusinessObjects ecosystem. The company sells three integrated pillars to enterprise customers: professional services (BI consulting, migrations, managed services, Green Services remote consulting), proprietary software (the InfoBurst family for report bursting, dashboard delivery, and cross-platform BI integration; InfoBurst Squirrel as a no-code application builder; 360Suite for BO administration; and WIP for source control), and education/certification delivered through the webilikeapro.com training platform and the SpeakBO Plus community. Its core technology is a tightly integrated layer that automates distribution of BusinessObjects content, bridges BusinessObjects with Tableau (InfoBurst Tab) and Power BI (InfoBurst PBI), and enables no-code dashboard assembly with embedded AI assistance (the 'Tufty' generative AI assistant launched in 2026).

The business model is a hybrid of professional services revenue (quote-based consulting, fixed-fee managed services, training) and recurring software revenue (InfoBurst and add-on module licenses, subscription-style managed services, and the Green Hours pay-as-you-go consulting model that donates to the Arbor Day Foundation per hour purchased). Go-to-market is sales-led direct to enterprise customers supplemented by a self-serve trial/download path at ib.infosol.com and a channel/reseller network that includes SAP, Ebi Experts, Wiiisdom, Infolytik, Rocket Software, and Seenovate.

The firm operates globally through wholly-owned subsidiaries in Windsor, Canada; Bristol, UK (covering EMEA); and Cebu City, Philippines (delivery support), and maintains the annual IBIS (International BusinessObjects Summit) conference plus regional user groups and a BusinessObjects certification registry that together function as the de facto community infrastructure for the platform. Customer concentration is enterprise-skewed, with named use cases in healthcare and education and a legacy COBOL migration practice extending reach into mainframe operators.

Scale indicators3 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• Salesforce (Tableau): Tableau is the other modern BI platform InfoSol integrates with via InfoBurst Tab; competes for the same analytical workloads and increasingly ships the report-distribution and dashboard capabilities InfoBurst wraps around.
• Microsoft (Power BI): Power BI is one of the modern BI platforms InfoSol's InfoBurst PBI integrates with — and increasingly competes with for greenfield BI budgets through native AI, scheduling, and low-code features.
• SAP (Analytics Cloud / BusinessObjects): The underlying platform vendor whose BusinessObjects and SAP Analytics Cloud ecosystems InfoSol serves; offers adjacent capabilities and partner programs that both enable and compete with InfoSol's products.

Emerging players

• SQLI Group: European digital services firm with SAP and BI/dashboard practices serving enterprise customers; comparable to InfoSol in BI implementation and integration services but with broader digital-transformation scope and larger headcount.

Direct peers

• Motio: Vendor of SAP BusinessObjects administration, version control, and lifecycle tools (e.g., MotioPI, MotioCI) — directly overlapping with InfoSol's 360Suite and WIP product offerings inside the BO ecosystem.
• Decision First Technologies: Long-standing SAP BusinessObjects consulting and reseller partner offering implementation, migration, and managed services — directly competitive with InfoSol's SAP BO services portfolio across the same enterprise customer base.
• Wiiisdom: Provider of 360View for BusinessObjects repository management, security, and auditing — overlapping with InfoSol's 360Suite and frequently co-marketed through InfoSol's partner network, but also a competing vendor in the same niche.
• Connex Information Systems: Specialized SAP BusinessObjects and BI consulting firm providing implementation, upgrades, and custom development — a direct peer competing for the same BO-focused enterprise engagements.
• Infolytik: SAP BI/BusinessObjects landscape management vendor behind MetaMiner (security, metadata, backup/restore) — competes with InfoSol's 360Suite and operates as a partner, making it a hybrid competitor/ally.

Others

• Rocket Software: COBOL and mainframe modernization partner of InfoSol and operator of the Micro Focus COBOL portfolio — adjacent ecosystem participant enabling InfoSol's COBOL migration line rather than competing in BI, but relevant for portfolio diversification.
