Our expertise is based on the entire Microsoft Business Intelligence offering which includes :

Techtra has been a Microsoft Gold partner for the past 8 years in the area of the Portals and Collaboration (SharePoint). We have become experts in the area of integration of Business Intelligence components to collaborative business processes and content management.

This method of integration, consolidation and dissemination of information is what we refer to as the new participative approach for intelligence of business, This method now makes it possible for the participants to exchange and collaborate using the indicators, providing a more dynamic approach to processes, data interpretation, and decision making.

PREPARING FOR NEW POSSIBILITIES

Traditional Business Intelligence still answers most of the needs of participants and organizations but today’s professional needs greater autonomy in the areas of data consumption and analysis: self-serve applications support this requirement in a very interesting way.

For these reasons, Techtra is interested and invests in the knowledge of new tools such as PowerPivot and PowerView. These user centric tools offer the Power User new capabilities in the environments they are familiar with: Excel and SharePoint.

We are already working on the Microsoft SQL Server 2012 version. For additional information on the innovations in Business Intelligence please contact us.
