If you find it challenging to effectively access, analyze, forecast, report on, and share the information you need to achieve corporate objectives, consider Microsoft business intelligence (BI). We offer a complete, fully integrated set of BI technologies that can help reduce the complexity of organizing and distributing information, enable better business decisions, and improve your bottom line.

Most likely, your organization already uses these tools:

  • Microsoft Excel is the world's No. 1 personal BI productivity tool.
  • SharePoint Server offers team and organizational collaboration capabilities.
  • PerformancePoint Server provides performance management capabilities for the entire organization.
  • SQL Server is the foundation for Microsoft BI, providing the infrastructure to bring everything together through its integration, reporting, and analysis capabilities.

Microsoft BI works the way your people want to work. It provides a full range of familiar tools that can address the entire spectrum - all of the people, data, and processes - of decision making.

Microsoft BI is delivered through three layers:

Data Warehousing
Give your users a way of finding the data they need in an easy-to-understand format that helps them make decisions. Microsoft SQL Server 2008 can help you improve your data process, store huge amounts of data, support high query loads, and scale to the largest enterprise needs.

Reporting & Analysis
Provide your end users with the resources that help them make accurate and confident decisions. One of the tools that many people already use, understand, and trust is Microsoft Office Excel. With the 2007 release, Microsoft has made a huge investment in your ability to analyse, visualise, and gain insight into data.

Performance Management
Improve corporate-level decision making all across your organisation with Microsoft Office PerformancePoint Server 2007. Decision making now has a greater context that captures the workings of your entire company with informational views that consolidate all your corporate data—from sales to HR and operations to finance.
