2. Microsoft SQL Server Suite of Products Enabled CTS to Rapidly Respond
to Business Needs
The challenge and promise of business intelligence revolves around providing
employees with the right information, at the right time to accomplish a specific
goal. Making this promise a reality demands a business intelligence solution that
is comprehensive, secure, integrated with operational systems, and available all
day, every day. Microsoft SQL Server helps companies to achieve this goal.
CTS is dedicated to continually improving all systems that affect customer
satisfaction. Their existing ERP system, PRMS, used a reporting tool called
InterBiz, which failed to adapt and scale to CTS's growing business demands,
thus decreasing the customer service levels. Since this data warehouse system
was not providing any business value, the client chose to implement Microsoft
SQL Server suite of products, for its cost-effective and robust functionalities that
would integrate seamlessly with the existing infrastructure. YASH Technologies
was chosen as the strategic partner to implement the solution via an offshore
delivery model. As a Microsoft Gold Certified partner, YASH offered extensive
expertise in all areas of Microsoft technologies, including proven best practices
and rapid deployment methodologies.
YASH Increased Customer Service Levels with Greater Visibility
into Data
The data warehousing and reporting capabilities inherent in Microsoft SQL
Server enhanced CTS' customer service levels with the ability to guide product
development, reduce prices if necessary, shorten cycle times, improve quality,
and make better informed decisions. A Microsoft SQL Server-based data warehouse
was implemented quickly with minimal business disruption and provided all of the
interoperable tools necessary to build, manage, and deliver a DW/BI environment.
Because CTS operates in a rapidly changing industry, the flexibility, familiarity,
and ease-of-use of Microsoft technologies enabled a competitive advantage.
YASH developed a process to collect the raw data and then continually repackage
them to serve CTS's evolving business initiatives. In order to achieve this, YASH
implemented the following key applications:
▪▪ SQL Server Integration Services: Allowed for the extraction, transformation,
and loading of data required for enterprise-wide analytical capabilities and
data warehouse success
▪▪ SQL Reporting Services: Provided an enterprise reporting environment,
managed via web services that gave end-users access to critical business
data. CTS had 117 reports to be migrated to this system which could now
be delivered in a variety of formats, with range of interactivity and printing
options. A broader audience could now perform complex analyses and gain
visibility into the data through the distribution of reports.
▪▪ ASP.Net Ad Hoc Reporting: Developed for the automotive division of CTS to
incorporate a user friendly business query model that enabled users to build
reports without deep technical understanding and gave them the ability to
transform information into better business decisions at all organizational levels.
