BI For the Small Business
Some technologies, like BI, have rightly developed a reputation for being expensive to buy and expensive to implement. A global corporation can easily spend $10M on a BI project. There must be some serious value locked up in BI to justify those sums. That being the case, you would think that only big business would reap the competitive advantages offered by these solutions.
Fortunately, that doesn't have to be the case. CVM has built its entire business on bringing Fortune 1,000 solutions to small to mid-market companies. The presence of multiple vendors on the market plus the many permutations of complexity that a project can take mean that CVM can craft cost-effective solutions for our target market.
This even includes the small business. For CVM, this means companies with 50-200 employees.
There is a good chance that a company of this size is running their technology infrastructure on a Microsoft Windows platform. That's good news, and here's why. Microsoft SQL Server ships with something called "Microsoft Analysis Services." This is a top of the line OLAP product with all of the leading data cube technology that is available for no extra charge. If you have SQL server than you have already have BI capability. All you need is for CVM to figure out how to enable it to fit your business model. Read about our consulting services to see how we'll going about doing this.
If you are running a Windows environment and do not have SQL server, it may not be cost-prohibitive to acquire it. SQL Server is a powerful, industry standard RDBMS platform that has broad applications far beyond BI. It would likely provide multiple benefits to your organization for a fraction of the cost of other RDBMS solutions, such as Oracle.
