Microsoft Gold Certified Partner, IS Partners, has announced an agreement with Magix, the local exclusive Panorama distributor, for the implementation, integration and support of Panorama`s analysis and reporting tool, built exclusively for the Microsoft Business Intelligence (BI) platform.
Says Caron Mooney, director of IS Partners: "Panorama represents world-class functionality for creating value from the Microsoft BI platform, while offering stability, scalability and flexibility."
BI has been traditionally aimed at high-level business users. Panorama, as implemented on the Microsoft platform, is expanding the reach of BI, making it deployable across any operational area within the organisation and eliminating any complexity in report generation.
"Panorama`s approach is about BI for all," says Alon Goren, director of business development at Magix. "The tool set offers simplicity from the ground up, in terms of its design and usage, thus ensuring the entire organisation can benefit from BI."
Goren explains that traditional BI tools rely on report-on-demand scenarios where information is pulled from the data store. Panorama builds the requisite intelligence directly into the application to push information out to users.
"This degree of intelligence ensures that problem areas within the organisation can be identified and a report sent directly to a user`s desktop."
As BI is highly specialised, partners are selected based on their understanding of the intricacies of solutions design and implementation and their involvement with Microsoft technologies around BI. "We found that IS Partners leads in this area, and was also the first company we approached to partner with."
Magix has been in operation for 15 years, working exclusively with channel partners to ensure totality of expertise around BI implementations. "We have seen more of a need for BI as more and more people are exposed to the value of the technology. More people want to manage their own destiny in terms of what they know.
"We are finding greater acceptance of BI in general as technologies become cheaper and faster," Goren adds.
