Our Idea Integration Technical Lead demonstrated throughout the project how his extensive experience, professionalism and expertise were invaluable. Not only did he achieve deliverables set forth by the project, but also showed the ability to connect with our team in a warm and positive team spirited manner.

Idea understands that true Business Intelligence is realized when company executives, managers, and business users are given the ability to easily transform data into real time information allowing for more informed business decisions, proactively instead of reactively. As one of Microsoft’s most highly decorated Gold Certified partners in the U.S., Idea can help you unlock the power of Microsoft's latest data management, data processing, and performance measurement technologies.
Idea has completed more than 150 Microsoft technology based BI projects and a driving force in leading Fortune 1000 customers to an early adoption of SQL Server 2005. You can rely on our experience and knowledge for a wide range of services, all developed to help you take advantage of your existing technology and stay competitive in today's challenging landscape. Idea has built a strong history of delivering complete and robust BI solutions, to our customers in the following areas:
Idea Microsoft works with some of the best known business intelligence, data warehouse and database product companies in the world. Our expertise in working across multiple platforms and integrating them with the Microsoft BI Suite is second to none and will help you achieve high efficiency and effective results at an affordable cost.
By leveraging Office SharePoint Server 2007 and SQL Server Business Intelligence components Idea will help you develop, live interactive business intelligence (BI) portals that assemble and display business-critical information from disparate sources, using integrated BI capabilities such as dashboards, Web Parts, scorecards, key performance indicators (KPIs). By developing Centralized Report Center sites users are given a single place for locating the latest reports, spreadsheets, or KPIs. Idea Microsoft takes the time to help decision makers make sense of the data at their disposal, and has the right process to create order out of chaos. Our dashboards and scorecards provide stunning insight into critical performance metrics about your business. The easy-to-understand gauges, dials, and report graphics, as well as trending indicators and specific numerical measures, allow you to quickly identify vital areas of your business that need immediate attention.
Comprehensive Performance Management allows organizations to drive execution and more effectively monitor performance through integrated monitoring, analytics and planning capabilities. This empowers your organization to make informed and accurate business decisions based on real-time information delivered in the right format to the right people.
Using Microsoft's Business Intelligence platform, Office Performance Point Server 2007, Idea will help you build an enterprise-grade, scalable performance management application. Performance Point Server 2007 uses Microsoft Office as its primary interface, so users can interact via tools that they are used to using every day, like Excel, to consume information, collaborate with colleagues, and contribute to plans and the performance management cycle.
Office Performance Point Server 2007 also uses the proven database engine of SQL Server 2005 for data integration; an analytical data model that includes a calculation engine and data mining capabilities; and a highly flexible and scalable reporting platform to broadcast information to a wide audience. All of this delivered via the Web, using Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007, providing everyone with a central portal to get all their business intelligence information.
The strongest and most successful business intelligence solution is one that provides consistent and timely reporting to a myriad of users across the enterprise. Clients are often plagued by reports that are difficult to navigate and do not meet the end-user needs. This causes a multitude of small groups within the organization creating their own individual “reporting databases” to meet their specific needs. These “spreadmarts” make it increasingly difficult to create a consistent view of the enterprise from various stakeholder perspectives.
By using SQL Server Reporting Services which is an integrated part of the Microsoft Business Intelligence framework, Idea will help you combine the data management capabilities of SQL Server with familiar and powerful Microsoft Office System applications to deliver real-time information to support your daily operations and drive decisions. By utilizing SQL Server Reporting Services as a comprehensive, server-based solution you will be able to transform valuable enterprise data into shared information for insightful, timely decisions at a lower total cost of ownership.
