BOULDER, CO--(Marketwire) - The BeyeNETWORK™ announces the addition of several new groups on www.BeyeCONNECT.com, a community platform designed to foster collaboration among the global business intelligence (BI) community.

One of the newest groups in the community is the columnar database group, sponsored by ParAccel. Interest in columnar databases is growing among the data warehousing community as businesses continue to investigate innovative technologies to improve BI efficiency.

"Every community needs a place where they can meet, and we are proud to sponsor a forum for BI professionals to learn more about columnar databases and share experiences," said Kim Stanick, VP of Marketing for ParAccel. "The analytics market is growing rapidly and columnar databases like the ParAccel Analytic Database fulfills unmet needs for innovative high-performance solutions. Our goal is to foster a knowledge exchange and to raise the awareness among those who are still unfamiliar with columnar databases. We invite any and all to participate -- users, implementers, analysts and even our fellow vendors."

Another recently added group is BI for Marketing. User-created groups like these offer a chance for professionals to reach out to the community, network and encourage other professionals with similar interests to share their thoughts.

"We are pleased to see the growing interest in this valuable community site," remarked Shawn Rogers, BeyeNETWORK Cofounder and Editorial Director. "Participants in the community are able to join interesting and relevant groups, communicate with other members, share their opinions about content and gain closer access to leading industry experts in an interactive environment driven by the community."
