SQL Server Analysis Services

The sheer volume of data within the organization can be overwhelming. However, data alone cannot give you a competitive edge. Only by unlocking the hidden knowledge can you use this information to gain insight into customers, markets, and even your own business performance. Today's business environment requires a responsiveness that can only be achieved with timely and accurate insight into business conditions. To be successful, businesses need rapid, easy access to information about their finances, customers, and external market conditions. The Rand Group's tailored deployment of Microsoft SQL Server Analysis Services provides:

• Processing Power - Analyze huge data stores in today's enterprise resource planning (ERP), customer relationship management (CRM), e-commerce, and project management databases.
• Desktop Access - Use familiar tools via Excel, Office Web Components, Data Analyzer, and Mappoint
• Flexible Analysis - Not only predefined reports that capture your key business performance indicators, but also tools that employees can use to conduct queries and analyses on their own, without administrative intervention
• Web deployment - Make data and tools available over the web to employees, vendors, and suppliers.

The measure of any business intelligence solution is its ability to derive knowledge from data. The challenge is met with the ability to identify patterns, trends, rules, and relationships from volumes of information too large to be processed by human analysis alone. The Rand Group's implementation of Microsoft Business Intelligence provides flexible, end-to-end solutions that help you transform data into knowledge, knowledge into action, and action into success with tools you probably already own.
