WELCOME
There
is a strong correlation between timely access to information
(intelligence), and process efficiency, competitive advantage and
optimized profitability. Organizations able to access, comprehend and
act quickly on relevant facts have advantages over those who cannot. For
this reason intelligence has significant value to the organization.
Tools and technologies which collect, process and distribute timely
information are embraced by organizations who are leaders, regardless of
size.
WHAT I DO
I provide the products and
consulting services to implement high-value business intelligence solutions.
These solutions provide easy, direct and timely access to the
information an organization must have to efficiently and quickly meet
tactical and strategic objectives. My standards are access to
information. My consulting services
and products include OLAP, portal-based dashboards, static and
interactive reporting, data mining, location analysis, and business
scorecard solutions. Whether custom or plug-and-play, my aim is to
implement solutions which support the organization's long-term
strategic and tactical objectives. Almost entirely, my services and
products are based on the Microsoft Business Intelligence stack,
including SQL Relational Engine, SQL Analysis Services, SQL
Reporting Services, SQL Integration Services, Microsoft Office, Windows SharePoint
Services, and custom .NET Web Applications.
