BI, EIM & EPM

Microsoft

Microsoft Business Intelligence is the only solution in the market today that enables both end user agility through Self Service BI while continuing to provide IT with control and visibility.

It's all about the right tools for the right user. Microsoft BI is deeply focused on solving problems for both types of users - the IT professional using products such as SQL Server and SharePoint or end users delivering capabilities through Excel or PowerPivot - enabling clients to acheive the ultimate "Managed Self-Service BI".

Business & Decision helps clients achieve this by using 3 distinct steps within the BI Lifecycle:

• Provision: Provide IT with the tools to connect, clean, provision and stage the data that needs utilized
• Empower: Provide end users with access to both internal and external data sources and the ability to merge and analyze the data in a familiar environment like Excel
• Manage: Enable IT to monitor end user content and actions and act accordingly based on usage and resource utilization needs

Microsoft BI consists of a set of products that provide a complete and end-to-end set of BI capabilities. This can be simplified into three key areas:

• Connectivity: working on a heterogeneous stack, with a wide array of data sources both structured, unstructured, internal and external
• EIM and BI Platform Services: such as Analysis Services, Reporting Services, Integration Services and Master Data Services realized through the use of SQL Server
• End User Tools: Excel Workbooks, PowerPivot Solutions, SharePoint Dashboards or Scorecards, delivered through the productivity and collaboration tools that customers are most familiar with and in most cases already have available to them
