Overview

By combining tools that support collaboration and communication with tools that support business decisions, Microsoft Office Share Point Server (MOSS) 2007 represents an evolutionary step forward in how people find, use, and share information to drive business performance. At Habaņero we have helped hundreds of clients achieve their business goals by combining Microsoft technologies they already own in innovative ways. These solutions differentiate our clients from their competitors by delivering targeted information and usable tools to decision makers at all levels of the organization.

Please join us for this complementary session to learn more about Microsoft-based solutions for collaboration and business intelligence.

The presentation will address the following:

  • Trends in collaboration and business intelligence: past, present, and future
  • The impact user experience design has on the ROI for collaboration and business intelligence solutions
  • Solutions that showcase MOSS collaboration features: team sites, forms and workflow
  • Solutions that showcase MOSS BI features: Report Library, Excel Services, Reporting Services, dashboards and KPIs
  • An integrated search for structured data (reports), unstructured data (documents), people, and applications
