John,

"Taking control of the BI market" is a bit strong. MIS is a relatively small
German company that has repeatedly failed to make inroads into the major
English-speaking markets. Regardless of whether you like its products, MIS
remains a fairly small regional player that has struggled to stay
profitable. And XLCubed is an even smaller start-up.

Sadly, in the rough and tough computer software industry, it's often not the
companies with the nicest products that win in the long run.
