LogiXML
Encyclopedia
LogiXML, Inc. is a company
that develops and sells Business Intelligence
(BI) software to private and public enterprises worldwide. Based in McLean
, Virginia
, USA, it was launched by Arman Eshraghi, is privately owned and currently employs approximately 50 workers.
The first product developed by LogiXML was LGX AppDev in 2000. This was an XML
-based engine that built Web applications, and it was soon geared to the specific task of report-building for BI. Although some companies still use LGX AppDev, the product is no longer offered.
In 2002, LogiXML created Logi Report (then called LGX Report), the first engine-driven, XML-based reporting application. Between 2002 and 2004, more features were added to Logi Report until Eshraghi made the decision to brand the full-featured version separately — as Logi Info — and offer the basic version free of charge.
Then in 2004, LogiXML began marketing
Logi Report as a free Web-based BI reporting tool. The product was renamed Logi Report or Freereporting.com.
In 2006, LogiXML discontinued the LGX branding and introduced the Logi product line, consisting of applications for ad hoc, managed and OLAP
reporting, an embedded database
to be used between operational databases and reporting servers, and a connector pack for integration of commonly-used Web-based sources into the Logi reporting environment.
In 2008, LogiXML streamlined its commercial product offering, concentrating on Logi Info (managed reporting, analysis and dashboarding), Logi Ad Hoc (ad-hoc reporting, analysis and dashboarding), and the Logi 9 platform (Web-based BI platform including managed and ad-hoc reporting, analysis, dashboarding and data integration).
