Business Intelligence for Everyone

From boardroom executives to frontline operation managers, the uncertain economy has highlighted the necessity (and the benefits) of making informed decisions. To cut costs, streamline operation, and to fuel continual process improvements, employees must be empowered to make better decisions at every level in the organisation. Critical business data needs to be accessible to all employees, so that they can perform their own analyses and freely share insights with team members. With access to relevant data employees can find opportunities to operate more efficiently and grow revenues, so the company can emerge stronger from any economic environment.

Microsoft delivers a complete Business Intelligence (BI) suite with the familiar productivity tools in Microsoft Office 2010 and the collaboration and search technologies of Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010. Using Microsoft Business Intelligence, your employees gain deep business insights while working in familiar environments, and then easily share these insights across the organisation.

The video below shows a brief introduction to the Microsoft Business Intelligence suite, to find out more about how to put BI in action, contact MCS today - sharepoint@mcs.ky or call (345) 949-8263.

The MCS solution uses the Microsoft SharePoint platform as the basis for sophisticated enterprise collaboration and knowledge management, providing a business centric approach to the capture, consolidation and management of data, documents, ­files, email and email attachments. This provides users with easy access to a uni­fied view of all key information within the organization.

MCS attended the Microsoft World Partner Conference in Los Angeles in July and was proud to be able to fly the flag for Cayman, bringing back an important accolade. Each year at the Worldwide Partner Conference, Microsoft recognizes partners who have developed exemplary solutions for their customers. The winners and ­finalists for the WPC Awards Program demonstrate signifi­cant customer impact, originality, effective time to market, deployment of advanced features and the ability to optimize their use of Microsoft technologies to meet business needs.

MCS was chosen out of an international fi­eld of over 400 Microsoft partners from the Latin America and Caribbean, prevailing over stiff competition in the category, which included fi­nalists frimageom Brazil and Mexico. The Portals and Collaboration Partner of the Year Award honors a partner who has excelled in offering breakthrough SharePoint solutions to meet team and organization collaboration and connectivity needs across intranets, extranets and the Internet.

After the announcement of the award, CEO of MCS, Chris Lopez, commented:

“We are elated to accept the Microsoft Portals and Collaboration and Country Partner of the Year awards, which builds on the similar recognition we achieved last year. This places MCS and the Cayman Islands squarely on the Microsoft World Map. We have assembled a world class, multinational team and it is evident that the power of intellectual capital can be exponential!

I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate the members of the MCS SharePoint Consulting Practice as well as extend our gratitude to Microsoft for their continued support and partnership.”
