Because Microsoft business intelligence solutions are delivered in environments that you already work in today—Microsoft Office Excel, Office Outlook, and Office SharePoint Server 2007—there’s no need for extensive training courses or complicated books and manuals. And the products are integrated and interoperable from top to bottom, so you don’t need to get used to different user interfaces for all the different product versions available.
Total cost of ownership issues are at the top of everyone’s list today, and business intelligence investments are no exception. And while every project starts with the ultimate vision of connecting everyone on every desktop and every mobile device, the software, training, maintenance and upgrade costs add up quickly but a Microsoft business intelligence project delivers unparalleled economic value.
Business intelligence projects don’t have to break the bank, and with a solution based upon Microsoft technologies, a pervasive “business intelligence for everyone” reality is closer than you might think.
