Hello Experts, <br />
<br />
I'm trying to find out if a vendor is pulling a fast one or not. &nbsp; We are going to start doing some &quot;cube&quot; reporting with this 3rd party vendor and they are pushing us to buy the Business Intelligence edition and not the Standard one. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
We are a two hundred employee company, manufacturing and agriculture as our primary functions, &nbsp;Our database is about 50GB. &nbsp; The 3rd Party is Targit (<a href="http://www.targit.com/en" rel="ugc">http://www.targit.com/en</a>) .<br />
<br />
The biggest advantage they are stating is that there's a savings of 10 to 15 minutes on Parallel processing on cubes. <br />
<br />
What do you think?
