Microsoft Business Intelligence

"Water, water everywhere nor any drop to drink" - this could be seen as an historical analogy to the modern business manager or IT data professional issues with deciphering valuable information from the reams of data they collect.

The Challenge

We are bombarded from every direction, customer relationship management systems, accounting systems, e-commerce systems, web analytics, if only we could understand how to manage this data efficiently we might just be able to make some business changing decisions that will drive up revenues and improve customer service and operational efficiency.

The Solution

Advanced 365 has wide ranging experience of building Business Information Systems to deliver just this type of result and in many instances this requires little more than knowing how to unlock the secrets and technology that you already have.

Furthermore, the Advanced 365 Reporting Services Consolidator  leverages the power of Microsoft SQL Reporting Services (SSRS) and the Microsoft SharePoint platform to automate the report consolidation process without the need for you to heavily invest in new technologies.

Why Microsoft BI?

Advanced 365 has extensive experience of business intelligence (BI) projects delivered via the Microsoft BI suite.

How does Microsoft BI Work?

An effective, integrated business intelligence solution can improve business performance by driving better decision making across your organization. But for a business intelligence solution to live up to its promise, it must be designed with the needs of every user in mind and must have the flexibility to accommodate all the structured and unstructured information your organisation uses day to day.

That's where we can help. Not only do we understand the technology we work with you to understand your business processes and data so that a BI solution can deliver real value.

Finally, you need to provide a way for people to collate together and organise all the information they use - whether it’s from e-mail, the Internet, a company data source, a conversation, or anywhere else. The 2007 Microsoft Office system, anchored by the collaboration and team capabilities of SharePoint Server 2007, contains all the tools you need to collect, analyse, and share the information seamlessly. With these features on top of SQL Server, you’ll have a full range of capabilities, including advanced reporting, integration, dashboards and analysis tools that enable you to take an even deeper look at your business.
