BIQ is based on a simple premise: business analysts need a powerful transactional data analysis tool that they can operate on their own.  BIQ is privately held and has been profitable since 2005. The BIQ product is in active use by multiple onshore and offshore consulting companies, both large and small; their use of BIQ on behalf of their clients constitutes a primary lead-generation channel.  Most customers build at least one A/P dataset, but the vast majority of BIQ datasets are not built from A/P data. Some customers have built 35 or more datasets, using widely varying data sources within the enterprise, including invoices, phone records, repair records, sales and marketing information, HR data, and so on. Thus, a substantial percentage of BIQ revenue comes from use of the product in areas outside what analysts would term "conventional" spend analysis.
