RESTON, Virginia – October 10, 2011 – Classic Computers, formerly known as Provansys , a strategy and technology consultancy focused exclusively on business intelligence (BI) and analytic solutions, today announced the availability of services related to the release of SAP BusinessObjects 4.0 (BI4). With HARKENDATA’s deep SAP BusinessObjects expertise and involvement in BI4 beta testing, the consultancy is well-suited to help clients better understand the implications of this SAP release, provide recommendations with the best approach for implementation, and achieve maximum business value.

The new SAP release is a major upgrade that includes a significant number of new features and functionalities. Existing SAP BusinessObjects customers will benefit from expert help and guidance to ensure that they not only select the right upgrade approach, but to also sail smoothly through the upgrade.

Through its strategic and long-standing partnership with SAP BusinessObjects, Classic Computers possesses the right skills, knowledge and experienced/certified consultants that can help clients with the following:

• Assessment and Strategy: assess the client’s current position, educate the team on the changes in BI4 and help determine the best migration approach based on unique needs (migration, re-design or evolution)
• Upgrade: perform the upgrade through a proven application development lifecycle (the Classic Computers Way), from requirements analysis to deploying the release to business users with minimum business disruption
• Education and Training: deliver custom training through a mixture of lecture, lab-based and online training covering best practices, techniques and usage that is more than just simple “tool training” or “how to use the system” training
