Business Benefits of SQL Server Accelerator for BI
|
Microsoft SQL Server Accelerator for Business Intelligence (SQL Server Accelerator for BI) enables your organization to measure and manage the business so that you can make informed decisions that increase profitability, increase efficiency, and improve customer satisfaction. Customized solutions built with SQL Server Accelerator for BI help remove the barriers to developing and implementing effective analytical applications by:
| • | Reducing time to market. Traditional data warehouse projects take too long to produce a meaningful return on investment. SQL Server Accelerator for BI reduces the development and deployment cycle for delivering customized analytical applications by providing an automated process for building the application infrastructure. |
| • | Lowering costs. Most analytical applications require extensive and costly customization to meet specific business requirements. With SQL Server Accelerator for BI, solutions cost less to build, deploy, and maintain, providing one of the best price-to-performance ratios on the market. |
| • | Taking advantage of existing information. Operating environments contain valuable information. You can use the data from existing systems to create rich business performance information that helps you enhance your business. |
| • | Empowering your employees. Companies that provide employees with accurate and timely information outmaneuver the competition. Use your most important asset—your employees—by building applications that provide the opportunity for all of your employees to be agents of change. |
| • | Customizing solutions to meet your needs. Packaged approaches are too generic to meet the specific needs of any business, requiring extensive, expensive customization. With SQL Server Accelerator for BI, Microsoft Consulting Services (MCS) or a SQL Server Accelerator for BI partner can rapidly develop a customized application to meet your specific business needs. |
| • | Building on an enterprise architecture. SQL Server 2000 with Analysis Services can handle large (terabyte-level) and complex data warehousing applications, and is extensible enough to handle the needs of any business. Solutions built with SQL Server Accelerator for BI are based on open standards to enable maximum integration and extensibility. |
With SQL Server Accelerator for BI, partners and MCS can focus on meeting specific business requirements and spend less time implementing technology to solve your business problem. Customers no longer need to adapt their business environment to a specific application—they can adapt the solutions developed with the SQL Server Accelerator for BI to meet the specific needs of their business.
