Having proven its worth to larger organizations, business intelligence (BI)
technology has made its way into the market for small and medium-sized
businesses. With the introduction of SQL Server 2000, Microsoft created a
full-featured platform for BI that was both affordable and familiar to smaller
organizations. Several years later, that platform is a full generation more
advanced; SQL Server 2005 is a true cutting-edge platform for BI that is easy
to implement, robust, scalable, and affordable.
By drawing information from a POS, ERP, accounting, or just about any other
business database, Northridge Systems can quickly get your organization up and
running with BI. Using SQL Server 2005, Northridge can enable periodic
reporting across your company, ad hoc Q&A of business performance for your
managers, salespeople, or analysts, and even dashboards for your managers. The
same BI application that serves these purposes can also help generate your
forecasts and budgets. Having all of this information come from a common source
means you have information for making business decisions that is both
consistent and accurate.
Northridge Systems can implement a basic BI system for your business in about
the amount of time it would take to build an e-commerce website or deploy a
company portal. Northridge also offers hosting and administration packages for
BI applications.
Companies looking to implement business intelligence often do so in the interest
of thinking “out of the box.” Northridge offers training and consulting
services to help your company make the transition from Excel, Access, and other
forms of static reporting to dynamic, ad hoc, interactive reporting and
analysis with information that is reliable and current.
Northridge BI Pilot Program
To help companies get a feel for the advantage that business intelligence brings
to them, Northridge provides the Northridge BI Pilot Program. With this
program, Northridge delivers reports, dashboards, and analytics from a pilot
(or Proof of Concept) BI application, using your data, in just a few weeks.
These pilots are secure, and are delivered to the customer over the web from
their hosting site at Northridge. All of this is available at a very low cost.
Northridge welcomes the opportunity to help customers run their businesses in a
more innovative and proactive manner.
