Our Microsoft's SQL Server 2005/2008 based DW/BI capabilities include:

Building a data warehouse

SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS):
SSIS is the tool in the Microsoft framework for the extraction, transformation, and loading of data into both the SQL Server 2008 DBMS and into SQL Server Analysis Services structures. It facilitates the data movement required for data warehouse success. Data movement jobs are scheduled and can be organized into complex nonlinear flows as required. Its GUI is very user-friendly.

Managing a data warehouse

SQL Server Database Management System:
SQL Server provides a manageable, scalable data warehouse platform. With several enhancements in SQL Server 2008, Microsoft enables Information Technology departments to productively manage their growing data volumes along with the rapid increase in usage of the data warehouse. Please read more about our SQL Server capabilities.

Delivering a data warehouse

SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS):
SSAS is an optional component of a data warehouse stack, but it is quickly becoming essential. SSAS is used to build a multidimensional OLAP cube structure. The benefits of using SSAS cubes are numerous and usually it’s the performance (of specific queries) that is cited as the main benefit.
 
SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS):
SSRS is for deployment to that class of end users whose sole purpose is reporting. Reporting tools carry a high degree of reporting features to format and structure repetitive information generation. With SQL Server 2008 Reporting Services, users are afforded much more flexibility. Please read more about our SSRS capabilities.

Integration with the Microsoft Office system and SharePoint

Microsoft Office Excel is the most used business intelligence tool. It is so ubiquitous that its relevance has extended well beyond its initial spreadsheet focus into capabilities for working with all manner of data. The unique ability to flow information between SQL Server and Office Excel allows companies to take advantage of their investment in Office Excel skills and gain new insight through analysis of data in a data warehouse.

Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 provides a classification for all corporate data. SQL Server 2008 Reporting Services is deeply integrated with Office SharePoint Server 2007. Objects such as reports, data sources, models, and resources are stored in Office SharePoint Server 2007 along with “metadata” about subscriptions and a few other pieces of functionality. This integration provides document versioning, workflow, and collaboration for Reporting Services, enabling it truly to provide robust, dynamic enterprise reporting.
