One of the first BI Gold partners of Microsoft

IKAN Consulting is proud to announce its Gold Partnership with Microsoft. We achieved this highest partnership level last month. This means we are now part of the very select group of Microsoft BI technology specialists.

The Gold Partnership endorses our far-reaching knowledge of Microsoft BI products. The privileged support and access to resources that this partnership provides will enable us to gain even more experience at a higher level and so improve the support we offer our customers.

Microsoft has invested a lot in its BI product portfolio and the release of Office 2007 means a complete end-to-end BI platform is now available. For the back-end, SQL Server 2005 organizes relational and olap data. To analyze these data, end-users can use the tool they are familiar with: Excel. Moreover, reports (Excel, Reporting Services, ProClarity or Business Scorecard Manager) can also be accessed and analyzed from a portal built with Microsoft Office Sharepoint Server.

A CPM application will be launched next year to supplement this BI platform: Office PerformancePoint Server 2007.

Our consultants manage the Microsoft platform completely and have implemented various customer solutions that combine and integrate all the various tools.

Furthermore, we are also working very closely together with Microsoft on data mining techniques. SQL Server 2005 offers an extensive set of data mining functionality. This complements our knowledge of Microsoft products perfectly.

There are many reasons for valuing our partnership highly, and we are proud to be one of the first BI Gold Partners on the Belgian market. Please do not hesitate to contact IKAN Consulting for more information.

As an Ikan Consulting contact, we want to keep you up to date on evolutions in our company and product range.
