Remember When BI Development Was Fun?
Mist makes business intelligence fun again by removing the frustrations of typical BI tools.  In Mist  easy problems have simple straightforward solutions.  And hard problems are made simpler by allowing users to easily decompose them and to share components all in a simple to use IDE.  And unlike other BI frameworks, we realize that one size doesn't fit all.  We give you the tools to access the bare metal or to fly at 20 thousand feet.  BI just became fun again.
Your Bosses Won't Understand How You Did It, But They'll Appreciate It
Management sometimes doesn't get that a great tool can save hundreds of hours of work, but we do.  Mist is a tool that will make management take notice, yet will fit seamlessly in your existing workflow.  Actually no one even needs to know you're using Mist (there's no required runtimes or additional servers), but we do hope you won't keep us secret for too long.
Do You Know Where Your Team's Wisdom Is Accumulated?
Your team probably has years if not decades of BI wisdom, but where is that wisdom kept?  If that wisdom is held in the heads of your senior developers then we can help.

Mist provides a concise mechanism to codify your accumulated BI wisdom and best practices with templates, transformers, and scripts.  This provides two key benefits: (1) Others can easily resuse this wisdom and best practices; and (2) junior developers can easily learn by reading Biml.
Only Cavemen Should Write In Stone
Changing business requirements are a part of business, but typical business intellgence tools treat them as an exceptional event.  With our powerful BimlScript capabilities, Mist makes it easy to change requirements, not just in a single local file, but throughout a project, even if it requires complex business logic in the change.  The technology is here -- don't be a caveman.
You're a Developer, Not a Plumber
Do you spend all of your time creating the same plumbing over and over again?
Mist makes it simple for you to do the plumbing once, and then easily reuse it in the future.  This allows you to focus on new problems and solutions, rather than the same old ones you've solved many times before.
Reduce, Reuse, Recycle -- Rethink How You Do BI
With Mist we have brought important techniques and technologies, such as version control, unit testing, and code reuse, to BI and made them available in an easy to use system.  The end result is fewer lines of code, greater reuse than you thought possible, and the ability to recycle across many projects.  Rethink how you do BI and you'll find you waste a lot less time.
