Microsoft Business Intelligence (BI)
Using investments our customers have already made, Microsoft business intelligence solutions improve performance by driving better decision making through familiar interfaces users work in everyday.
Maxima's Microsoft Business Intelligence team has been helping customers such as Aon, Culture and Sport Glasgow, Eircom and MDDUS (The Medical & Defence Union of Scotland) harness their data and transform it into useful, useable information.
Why Microsoft BI?
Microsoft business intelligence is delivered through a trusted and familiar environment that solves the business needs of organisations of all sizes around the world. Powered by the flexibility and horsepower of Microsoft SQL Server and delivered through the trusted and familiar 2007 Microsoft Office system, Microsoft business intelligence solutions work together to provide value to all users across your organisation.
Because Microsoft business intelligence solutions are delivered in environments that you already work in today-Microsoft Office Excel, Office Outlook, and Office SharePoint Server 2007-there's no need for week-long training courses or complicated books and manuals. And the products are integrated and interoperable from top to bottom, so you don't need to get used to different user interfaces for all the different product versions in production. You'll require less support time from IT and less training time for everyone to get started using the tools.
Total cost of ownership issues are at the top of everyone's list today, and business intelligence investments are no exception. And while every project starts with the ultimate vision of connecting everyone on every desktop and every mobile device, the software, training, maintenance and upgrade costs add up quickly. But a Microsoft business intelligence project delivers unparalleled economic value.
You can leverage your existing investments in the 2007 Microsoft Office system, SQL Server, and Office SharePoint Server 2007 to extend out the capabilities and add new functionality and new users. Business intelligence projects don't have to break the bank, and with a solution based upon Microsoft technologies, a pervasive "business intelligence for everyone" reality is closer than you might think.
