Databeacon Announces Support for
Microsoft Analysis Services Databeacon
Announces Support for Microsoft Analysis Services
Mid-market organizations now able to create
self-serve interactive reports and drive more insight
from data by leveraging investments in Microsoft
Analysis Services
OTTAWA, ON – APRIL 13, 2004 –
Databeacon Inc., a leading developer of Web reporting
and data analysis software, today announced support for
Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) Analysis Services. The new
release enables mid-market enterprises to leverage their
existing investments in Microsoft Analysis Services to
gain more insight from corporate data reports and make
better business decisions with Databeacon’s interactive,
easy-to-use data publishing tools and Insight viewer.

“Companies like Databeacon, share Microsoft’s
commitment to delivering quality solutions to our
customers,” said David Willis, Director of Small and
Mid-Market, Solutions & Partners, Microsoft Canada
Co. “We are thrilled that Databeacon is now supporting
Microsoft Analysis Services to help customers get more
out of their organization’s data and make informed
business decisions.”
Retrieving, analyzing, and
aggregating large amounts of historical data can consume
extensive time and resources. With Microsoft® SQL
Server™ Analysis Services, a complete, end-to-end
platform for analysis, including online analytical
process OLAP features and data mining, users can analyze
data with speed and flexibility. However, most
mid-market organizations have limited skills or funds to
turn that data into an interactive format that is easily
understood by everyone in the organization.
Alabama-based Compass Bank uses Databeacon
software with its existing Microsoft Analysis Services
to create reports for its Siebel Call Centre application
to track the metrics of number of calls, by day, by
hour, by service request type, and by query method.
Previously, to create reports based on that data, it
took two days. Now, with Databeacon, employees can view
and analyze data in real time. Additionally, the
user-friendly presentation formats of the Databeacon
reports shed new light on the data which enables
employees to quickly identify trends or issues they were
not aware of previously.
”Before, we had a
number of user interfaces that we had built in house –
basically just glamorized spreadsheets. When we found
Databeacon, we were amazed at the end-user experience it
offered,” said Duncan Lamb, Vice President for Database
Technology at Compass Bank. “Databeacon sells itself as
soon as you connect it to an Analysis Services cube –
the software is easy to use, visually impressive and
allowed us to give context to the information we’re
analyzing. Databeacon is the killer app we were looking
for.”
"By supporting Microsoft Analysis
Services, Databeacon offers 100-to-1000-employee
organizations a low-cost solution to publish
user-friendly, interactive reports that take advantage
of Microsoft's Analysis Services infrastructure," said
Andy Coutts, President and CEO of Databeacon. "Instead
of helping the few business analyst employees who are
trained to use Analysis Services, Databeacon enables any
operational manager with a browser and a need to know,
to get more insight out of their data, which will drive
better decision making throughout the organization. We
also believe this product offering can attract more
reseller and ISV partners to Databeacon from the
Microsoft community."
