Delos Technology, the leading provider of Information Reliability software, has been selected as the first Microsoft Gold Certified Business Intelligence Partner in SA.
The Delos CMX (Consolidate, Manage, eXchange) Platform, which consolidates data from disparate systems by dynamically assessing the trustworthiness of enterprise information - a platform to deliver on the promise of information reliability in business intelligence - forms part of the Delos BI solution built on Microsoft technology.
The CMX BI solution is comprised of a series of components architected around Microsoft`s Enterprise Server Technologies and fully supports Microsoft`s technology set, including Microsoft SQL Server and Analysis Services.
The criteria for selection as a Gold Certified BI Partner are strict. Applicants must have a proven track record in developing and deploying successful Microsoft BI solutions on a minimum number of enterprise projects. Delos qualified by default on this criteria having deployed enterprise scale Microsoft BI solutions for several years now.
"The Gold Certified BI status is a great achievement for Delos since it sets us apart as experts in BI, and not generalists. The Delos professional services team and its focus on Information Reliability has bought an essential component of BI to the table and is having a major impact on realising the full potential of enterprise information," says Keith Milner, managing director at Delos SA. "The Microsoft set of products has proven to be tremendously powerful for BI, delivering value to the business in a rapid and cost effective manner."
The Delos CMX Platform is an ideal Information Platform for enterprise BI. Currently deployed in a number of sites with Fortune 100 companies, the Delos CMX Platform makes information reliability a reality.
CMX uses sophisticated trust algorithms to dynamically determine which information is most reliable from all conflicting sources. It also produces an Operational Reference Store with a rules-based learning engine to automate the ongoing consolidation of reference data from disparate systems. This establishes a reusable data foundation with trustworthy enterprise information for all applications at all times.
"Delos has not only met but exceeded the strict quality and certification standards required by our Gold Certified Partner Programme and we look forward to working together to deliver high quality services and benefits to our mutual customers," concludes Geoff ten Oever, partner account manager at Microsoft South Africa.
