Microsoft's BI Offerings

New business intelligence software is now available from Microsoft that allows for medium sized companies to analyze business data through the use of analytics and scorecards. Users of Microsoft Dynamics SL can build, manage, and view scorecards and reports using Business Intelligence Optimization (BIO), which is scheduled for manufacture in May and launch in June. The software is priced at $3,600 for a basic version, which includes financial analytics and a two-user license. Computer World reports:

Users can view the analytical reports with Microsoft tools such as Excel, Office SharePoint Services and other Office products or directly within the BIO application. Microsoft developed the new BI software with channel partner NexVue Analytics Corp. BIO is built on SQL Server Analysis Services and integrates with SQL Server 2000 and 2005, Microsoft said.
