Consultancy and Solutions - Business Intelligence via SharePoint

Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 helps organisations provide business intelligence capabilities to every employee, so they can share, control and reuse business information in order to make better business decisions.

The business intelligence (BI)  features in SharePoint 2007 provide Web and programmatic access to published Microsoft Office Excel spreadsheets, programmatic reuse of critical LOB data, and easy development of Web-based business intelligence dashboards that can incorporate rich, data-bound KPIs, Web Parts, and published spreadsheets. As a Gold Partner and proven Sharepoint expert provider, we can assist your business in getting the best out of the Sharepoint product set and capabilities.

Sharepoint BI tools can include the following:

Business Data Catalog

With Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 you can include data from back-end systems in SharePoint lists, Web Parts, and search results by using the Business Data Catalog. The Business Data Catalog also allows access to data by using Microsoft ADO.NET.

Dashboards

Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 helps create interactive business intelligence (BI) dashboards that assemble and display business information from disparate sources by using built in Web Parts. These Web Parts include dynamic key performance indicators (KPI), Office Excel 2007 spreadsheets, Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services reports and a collection of business data connectivity Web Parts that can visualize information residing in back-end line-of-business applications.

Microsoft Excel Services

Microsoft Office Excel 2007 Services help information workers publish spreadsheets to SharePoint sites, including spreadsheets that incorporate powerful new client capabilities such as data visualisation and richer PivotTable views and PivotChart views. Users require no additional software to access these interactive spreadsheets in a Web browser, and all calculations are performed on the server.


Report Centre

Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 includes out-of-the-box websites optimised for report access and management. These sites, hosted by the new Report Centre, provide consistent management of reports, spreadsheets, and data connections.
