SwiftKnowledge To Showcase New SharePoint Integration At 2010 Microsoft TechEd/Business Intelligence Conference
SwiftKnowledge, LLC, a global provider of web-based business intelligence (BI) software, announced recently it will demonstrate a new Microsoft SharePoint integration at the 2010 Microsoft TechEd/Business Intelligence Conference, being held June 7-10, 2010 in New Orleans, La. SwiftKnowledge is exhibiting in booth #2624 at the event.
The new SharePoint integration became available in April as part of SwiftKnowledge's Version 9 product release. Version 9 builds upon SwiftKnowledge's enduring mission and philosophy of extending easy-to-use yet powerful reporting and analysis tools to non-technical, frontline workers, so they can gain more insight into information and make better decisions. The company's 100 percent web-based technology offers breakthrough usability and robust analytic capabilities via an integrated, single-product code base; patented performance and a data packet engine that accelerate queries and promote self-service BI; and patented, cell-based security that provides true data and feature/functionality granularity without sacrificing control or performance.
Via the new integration, SwiftKnowledge customers can merge SwiftKnowledge reports and BI functionality – including drill-down, filtering and drag-and-drop – in Microsoft SharePoint, enabling SharePoint users to access ad-hoc reporting and analytic capabilities through their familiar SharePoint portal interface.
"Dan Moloney, Ph.D. and I founded SwiftKnowledge specifically to resolve the unaddressed need for frontline employees to quickly perform their own interactive, ad-hoc business analyses from familiar desktop and web environments, from anywhere, at anytime," said Allie Gentry, chief technology officer for SwiftKnowledge. "Microsoft is the recognized leader in desktop applications; we're excited to offer SharePoint users a flexible tool that adapts to their tendencies and needs, and helps them easily, intuitively analyze their data without needing assistance from power users or business analysts."
SwiftKnowledge leverages a Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 Analysis Services data infrastructure to power a new era of BI applications that deliver an ad-hoc analysis experience to users in web time via a zero-footprint web deployment. SwiftKnowledge's speed and simplicity put users in control, allowing them to perform ad-hoc analysis without the traditional dependence on expensive BI customization and support specialists. The technology's "mashboard" mashup functionality combines structured data with unstructured content – including web pages, Web 2.0 content and YouTube videos – and its tabbed dashboards provide a familiar web experience, and are easy to create and customize.
In addition, users can easily share the configurable views and analyses they create with other employees, without needing additional downloads or software licenses. Power users and business analysts can quickly develop reports by using SwiftKnowledge's web-based authoring – rather than client-side software – and they also can leverage SwiftKnowledge's predictive modeling and data mining capabilities to develop advanced BI applications, such as a product recommendation engine based upon customer profiles.
SwiftKnowledge is currently participating in the Microsoft Front Runner early adoption program for Microsoft Office 2010, SharePoint 2010, SQL Server 2008 R2, Windows 7, Windows Azure and Windows Server 2008 R2. The Front Runner program is designed to help independent software vendors (ISVs) ensure their applications are compatible with the latest Microsoft technologies, then assist them with subsequent product development, testing and marketing.
