Business Intelligence in the Palm of Your Hand

Microsoft just released a great write-up on our PushBI Mobile Business Intelligence solution. It is focused on some of our recent wins within the retail space.

“REDMOND, Wash. — May 21, 2012 — Using embedded devices as part of an intelligent system can enable any organization to collect valuable data in new ways. But once the information is available, how do you make sense of it all? The world of intelligent systems is, after all, about using that data to make better decisions.

Although business intelligence software has progressed mightily from a decade ago when running reports required the help of the IT department, turning raw data into something useful for analysis is still often a team effort that can require a lot of legwork for administrators. Companies such as large retailers, manufacturers and logistics organizations are especially interested in finding a more elegant way to track business performance across complex networks of transactions and interactions.”

Any NASCAR Fans out there? I’ve got some Microsoft Power View Analytics for you.

Patrick Husting — Fri, 04 May 2012 17:45:01 +0000

Here is the next Microsoft SQL 2012 Power View example we are doing that is in the theme of NASCAR! Yeah, go figure, we did analytics for NASCAR. Actually, it is a pretty amazing looking SharePoint 2010 portal with Power View analytics enabling Twitter along with Team and Driver Analytics. Check out the screenshots below. Looks great!

Yes these are REAL solutions built with Microsoft business intelligence technologies with the Extended Results highly branding UI/UX touches. We easily refresh the data in our PowerPivot model hosted in Excel and Excel Services in SharePoint. It is scheduled for refresh in SharePoint weekly and then all that data is available live within the SQL 2012 Power View reports. Pretty slick.

Ladies and Gentlemen, start your engines!!!

Enjoy,

Patrick Husting — Wed, 18 Apr 2012 18:13:35 +0000

In a few weeks we will be entering a beta on our Insights Business Intelligence for Windows 8. I decided to capture a video on the interaction with KPIs, Social and Reports on a tablet device because it is cool to show the animations of Windows 8 in live formats.

We’ll be in beta until Windows 8 ships, whenever that is, but it is available for demos and evaluations. Contact us at www.extendedinsights.com for more information.
