WHAT CAN BI DO FOR MY BUSINESS?
1) PROVIDE WITH YOU WITH QUALITY DATA
The foundation to a successful BI solution is trustworthy data that people can access and understand easily. Microsoft SQL Server 2005 is the BI platform that brings all your data together, no matter where it resides, and helps you improve your data processes.
Data warehousing is one way to build and deploy a trusted enterprise data source. Microsoft SQL Server 2005 and SQL Server 2005 Integration Services helps you easily build and manage data warehouses that scale to meet the needs of even the largest and most complex organisations.

2) HELP YOU GAIN DEEPER INSIGHT AND FACILITATE BETTER DECISION MAKING
Microsoft BI provides you with the reporting and analysis tools to capture both structured and unstructured information, helping information workers access and investigate the data necessary for better decisions.
Microsoft BI offers 3 ways of making your reporting a success:
- Enterprise reporting: Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services offers a comprehensive, server-based solution that includes traditional managed reports, interactive reports, and embedded reports.
- Ad hoc reporting: Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services includes Report Builder, a tool that helps securely connect business users to data so they can explore the relational data and create and update reports with ease.
- Management reporting: Microsoft Office PerformancePoint Server 2007, building on the capabilities of SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services and Microsoft Office Excel 2007, can help your organisation manage all aspects of complex reporting. Tectura also has expertise in Business Objects - Crystal Reporting and Microsoft FX Professional report writer.
- Analysis: Microsoft BI analysis tools are integrated with the rest of the BI platform to help you transform data into insight. For example, you can easily move from monitoring a scorecard or reading a report right into an analysis of the same information. When you see a problem, you can dive right in. When you want to take action, you can discover hidden opportunities.

3) HELP YOU ALIGN YOUR STRATEGY WITH INFRASTRUCTURE, PEOPLE, AND PROCESSES
Here's your ideal situation: everybody in your organisation sees the decisions they make in the context of the big picture, and every decision is aligned with company goals and strategy. Microsoft Business Intelligence (BI) can help your business get to this ideal state through 3 capabilities: monitoring, analytics, and planning.
These capabilities are built into Microsoft Office PerformancePoint Server 2007, a powerful performance management application that provides you with the infrastructure to link people at all levels of your organisation—whether they're executives, line-of-business managers, or individual contributors—to your overall corporate strategy.
Office PerformancePoint Server 2007 builds on the familiar Microsoft Office environment and Microsoft SQL Server 2005 to deliver a comprehensive solution:
• Monitoring: Scorecards, dashboards, and key performance indicators (KPIs) help drive accountability and alignment across your organisation.
• Analytics: Integrated analytics helps you quickly move from monitoring information to analysing it to sharing it throughout your organisation.
• Planning: A flexible framework offers powerful business planning, budgeting, and forecasting and management reporting functionality that supports critical business processes and strategic decision making
