Connect to any source

The smartest, fastest, easiest way to work with data, from a single place.

Where is your data stored? Online? On-site?

Bime allows you to connect both worlds in the same place.

Bime can act as a “Live reader”, working remotely and in real-time. However, it does not require you to host your data in the cloud. Nevertheless, this choice has numerous advantages: access your data anytime and anywhere. You can upload your data seamlessly to Déjà Vu, our distributed cache.

Moreover, Excel data becomes available online for people you authorize to use it.

Finally, you can interactively mix and filter data coming from Excel and other data sources such as Oracle™.

Imagine a hassle-free database, one with no upfront investments, that is easy to design and even easier to maintain. Amazon SimpleDB is a database in the cloud. With Bime, you can turn it into your data warehouse in the cloud.

Google Big Query is big data for the rest of us. Easy to use, easy to manage (nothing to do), cost effective (pay-as-you-go) and virtually limitless in terms of scalability.

I (nicolas) once said Big Query is a sky-is-the-limit-hassle-free analytic database. It’s a bit convoluted but I still think it captures the essence of what Big Query is. Scaling databases is hard. Scaling analytic databases is very hard given the resource-intensive task of aggregation. Big Query solves the scaling of analytic databases problem in a beautiful way.

To give you a better idea, check out this video of an analytic session in Bime on top of almost half a billion rows:

Facebook Insights is the API where the Facebook content data is available. From Facebook:

Facebook Insights provides Facebook Platform developers and Facebook Page owners with metrics around their content. By understanding and analyzing trends within user growth and demographics, consumption of content, and creation of content, Page owners and Platform developers are better equipped to improve their business and create better experiences on Facebook.

The query model of the Facebook API is really different from the one in Bime. For this reason, it’s launched in Beta so we can gather maximum feedback around it.
