MICROSOFT

The data warehouse solutions – information warehouses – that Pointer has built so far are to a large extent built on Microsoft technology (MS SQL Server and MS SSIS, SQL Server Integration Services). Business Intelligence is a focus area for Microsoft and the company now provides widely extended functionality in Excel, Power Pivot, apart from the tools SSAS (SQL Server Analysis Service) and SSRS (SQL Server Reporting Services). In Power Pivot you can build table- and graphics-based reports where the user in a simple and intuitive way can choose what part of the accessible information they want to explore. Thanks to the wide portfolio of products, Microsoft also has many solutions within geographical information and portal solutions, which can help you build a complete and flexible environment for decision support. Some of Pointer’s customers that use Microsoft BI products are Coop Med Mera and British American Tobacco.
