Business Intelligence (BI) is no longer something we talk about. It has become a daily requirement to have in each company. Correctness of data and easily extracted information are crucial to a business user. With BI, you know where your business is headed, what you have realized the past days and why.
Deploying the right set off tools and technologies is not enough. The skill set needed to know how to integrate these within your company’s organization is crucial and will make or break the investment made. At Sogeti we believe we can help you make the right technology decisions that will make your existing information platform more valuable.
Our strong commitment to staying on the edge of the Microsoft product cycle ensures that we have the latest BI tools and technologies to meet enterprise level Business Intelligence goals.
Our goal is to help you create one version of the truth. From the boardroom to the back office we can enable an end-to-view of your enterprise.
Why Microsoft?
Sogeti believes that with Microsoft Business Intelligence solutions, IT can meet the BI needs of executives and employees while minimizing associated IT management issues and costs. They are available as a part of the familiar Microsoft Office and Microsoft SharePoint Server products, and built on the powerful Microsoft SQL Server platform. The following Microsoft BI capabilities allow people to connect to data and to each other, while easing the burden on IT staff and maintaining proper governance.
Self-Service
Your employees often use tools such as Microsoft Excel to pull together and analyze data to help make daily decisions. These tools offer flexibility and speed over relying on the IT department to help pull data together for them, but data integrity is often at risk.
With the self-service capabilities offered by Microsoft Business Intelligence solutions, employees can continue to use the tools they prefer, while giving the IT department the ability to monitor, manage, and govern the data and solutions that end users work with, so that the integrity of data and the stability of the system can be maintained.
Dashboards and Scorecards
Provide access to information and performance monitoring from virtually any data source across the organization through interactive, content-driven dashboards and scorecards that combine data from multiple systems into a single browser-based experience. Dashboards enable users to find answers to question and the root cause behind performance measures. Because these capabilities ship as part of SharePoint Server, you can use current investments to deploy dashboards and scorecards broadly across your organization while benefiting from ease of central man-agement and administration.
Collaboration
Through SharePoint Server, employees can more easily connect and collaborate with each other, find peers with subject expertise, and share content to make better informed and more agile business decisions. Employees can share their own business reports and analysis in a centralized, managed, and secure environment.
Reporting
Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) is the solution of choice for businesses that require enterprise reporting capabilities.
Because SSRS ships with SQL Server, you can access and combine data from virtually any data source to meet the reporting needs of your business. Covering the full range of reporting through highly intuitive ad-hoc reporting for business users as well as providing powerful report authoring environments for IT pro-fessionals and developers.
Analytics
The best analysts, and often the best assets, in most organizations are those who love to dig into the data and really understand why the business is performing the way it is. They may complete a financial modeling exercise to predict future revenue or drill into sales data to understand why one region is out-performing some other regions. With Microsoft SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS), you can fully use your current investments to pull together analytical models from virtually any data source across your organization with the industry’s leading OLAP solution.
Users can access these analytical capabilities through the familiar Microsoft Excel and SharePoint Server environments, extending the reach to more employees through-out the organization
Predictive Analytics and Data Mining
Move beyond simple data analysis to identify hidden trends, problems, or relationships in the data. Microsoft builds powerful data mining capabilities into SQL Server Analysis Services, allowing you to fully surface predictive analytics in your reports, dashboards, and scorecards to provide deeper insights to more employees.
Through the Data Mining Add-ins for Excel the power of data mining is made available through the familiar and intuitive Excel experience, making these capabilities accessible to a broader range of users.
Data Integration and Data Warehousing
Organizations can reduce long-term storage requirements and generate reports faster by using Microsoft data warehousing solutions. They aggregate, compress, and store data in a dynamic, scalable, integrated system.
Meet your business continuity goals with Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 high-availability technologies, which offer high scalability and performance at low cost through massively parallel processing (MPP).
