This seems to work by having a direct connection into the database. Have companies been concerned about giving a 3rd party access to their data? How have you guys overcome that?

p.s. congrats on the work so far and the funding. The product looks great from the demo video.

So we actually connect via a reversed SSH tunnel. So our customers maintain the corporate firewalls and tunnel out to us. Since, unlike a lot of other business intelligence companies, we don't take a full copy of your data, we ensure security at that level as well (only pulling in what's absolutely necessary for the visualizations and reports).

Good question though!
