Microsoft unveils mid-market BI software
March 16, 2006 from InfoWorld - "Microsoft unveiled new business intelligence (BI) software Wednesday that was designed to let mid-market companies use analytics and scorecards to study business data through various organizational roles. BIO (Business Intelligence Optimization) for Microsoft Dynamics SL, slated for release to manufacturing in May, allows business users to build, manage and use scorecards and reports, according to Microsoft officials. Users can then view the analytical reports with Microsoft tools such as Excel, Office SharePoint Services, and other Office products or directly within the BIO application.
Microsoft developed the new BI software with channel partner NexVue Analytics. BIO is built on SQL Server Analysis Services and integrates with SQL Server 2000 and 2005, Microsoft said. The software is scheduled for general availability in June. Pricing for the BIO Foundation, an entry-level option, starts at $3,600 and includes financial analytics and a two-user license. Additional users and project, distribution, and field service analytics solutions can be licensed for additional fees."

Sage began selling its version of the eAnalytics Portal authored by Dynamic Software Systems International. Late in 2005, Exact Software acquired Vanguard Business Systems, which makes a BI product. Systems Union acquired F9 and MIS AG a few years ago... ERP systems generate lots of data but without BI it's not easy to get useful information to make decisions.
