Why Wiiisdom?
Wiiisdom – formerly GB&SMITH – is the company behind 360Suite and Wiiisdom Ops. It was founded in 2007 by two renowned BI experts.
At Wiiisdom, we believe that people should be able to make bright and accurate decisions based on BI and Data Analytics they can trust. We help our customers by providing first-class Analytics Governance Solutions that enable organizations to automate their Analytics Operations.
What started in 2007 with 360Suite for SAP BusinessObjects has now grown to an AnalyticsOps portfolio, and the company now serves more than 600 customers around the world to scale their Data Analytics initiatives.
