Infogile believes doing so will enable the company to deliver better solutions to its clients.

Most companies today have made a significant investment in business intelligence (BI) covering many aspects of business performance. A typical installation has a mix of several custom built and packaged business intelligence applications accessing multiple data stores. Choosing a Business Intelligence (“BI”) offering is an important decision for an enterprise, one that will have a significant impact throughout the enterprise. The choice of a BI offering will affect people up and down the chain of command (senior management, analysts, and line managers) and across functional areas (sales, finance, and operations). It will affect business users, application developers, and IT professionals.

The Microsoft BI Framework provides an integrated end-to-end solution with SQL Server 2000, DTS, Analysis Services and Reporting Services. The Microsoft BI tools are well integrated, quick to implement and easy to refine. Microsoft’s BI strategy of starting with the back-end analytical engine and moving forward to support end-users has resulted in a broad BI offering that is architected to support a myriad of both Microsoft and third-party developer and end-user tools. In addition to the foregoing, there are many features within the Microsoft platform that provide support for moving BI into new uses. Proactive caching gives system support for real time BI. By building support for real time BI right into the engine, Microsoft allows real time BI applications to be built more easily and with greater reliability. The integration of SQL Server and the .NET framework with Visual Studio 2006 allows embedded BI applications to leverage the skill set and knowledge of the application developer without the worry of compatibility issues. Microsoft provides an integrated collection of server and client tools, full vertical integration, and full support for open standards that leverages existing infrastructure and developer skill sets.
