Panorama to integrate Denali to BI platform

TORONTO, CANADA: Panorama Software, Business Intelligence (BI) solution provider has unveiled its plans to extend Microsoft's next-generation SQL Server data platform (codenamed "Denali").

The next version of SQL Server Analysis Services introduces the BI Semantic Model, a single model for Business Intelligence applications, from reporting and analysis to dashboards and scorecards, enabling users to have a consistent view of their data, said a press release.

"Microsoft is planning to release one of the biggest revolutions and innovations in BI with Microsoft SQL Server codenamed 'Denali'," said Azarya, a spokesperson from Panorama.

"We see the BI Semantic Model as the future path for Microsoft in this space. We are one of the first partners to natively connect to the new Denali solution, and see our integration as a major competitive differentiator for Panorama, giving us the ultimate in-memory OLAP BI solution in the marketplace," added Azarya.

On the day SQL Server codenamed "Denali" is released, Panorama will enable seamless integration and allow customers to connect to the BI Semantic Model , while still deploying just one set of BI applications to their users.

"We have invested a lot of time and effort developing SQL Server codenamed 'Denali', to seamlessly combine OLAP and in-memory capabilities," remarked Bob Baker, director, BI Strategy from Microsoft.

"Panorama is taking major steps towards integrating Denali with its own comprehensive BI offering, and we expect them to continue to innovate new solutions to complement our technology," added Baker.

Panorama's solution provides all the benefits of Social Intelligence capabilities, Automated Relevant insights and advanced analytics combined with the added advantages of in-memory functionality and Necto's powerful and intuitive user interface.
