II. Technologies used:
SharePoint 2010

Business intelligence applications and tools enable user to organize vision of organizational goals, processes, and performance requirements in a useful manner and to present that data as meaningful information.

Traditionally, the tools for accessing large amounts of unstructured data for the purpose of analysis were available only to people with years of experience in data warehousing or data mining. Publishing to the Web by using data from multiple sources is something historically restricted to developers and consultants. By using the new features available in SharePoint Server 2010, information workers can assemble data from multiple sources and publish that data on the Web.

SharePoint Server 2010 can link to business applications, such as SAP, Siebel, and Microsoft SQL Server 2005, 2008, allowing you to easily publish reports, lists, and key performance indicators (KPIs).

SQL Server 2008 Business Intelligence

SQL Server 2008 makes business intelligence available to everyone through deep integration with Microsoft Office, providing the right tool, to the right user, at the right price. Employees at all levels of an organization can see and help to influence the performance of the business by working with tools that are both easy to use and powerful. Integration with the 20072010 Microsoft Office System enables users to view business performance in a way that they are familiar with. The introduction of PerformancePoint® Server 2007, helps customers gain actionable insight into the entire organization so they can monitor, analyze, and plan their businesses, as well as drive alignment, accountability, and actionable insight across the entire organization.
