I recently wrote a post about Microsoft Surface in a reatil setting, which can help differentiate you from your competition.
In this post, I have embedded a video about an offering that Accenture and Avanade have created for Financial Planning.
Through this technology, a firm can really differentiate themselves from their competitors with this unique offering. It is interactive and allows for a company to identify other opportunities for their clients.

Energy Sector Partner Portal Presentation in Calgary
Today’s dynamic business environment requires companies to collaborate more closely than ever with key partners and stakeholders. Organizations need to share information and your partners require greater access key information held within the secure confines of your enterprise. But how can you enforce your enterprise standards and governance structures on your partners?
There are many questions that need to be asked:
• How do you provide access to your partners without adversely impacting your critical business processes?
• How can an organization enforce their corporate information standards on their partners to ensure security and data integrity policies are being met?
• What can a company do to manage and secure the identity of a user and allow them access to only the information that they require?
• How can you utilize technology to help improve the overall decision making process?
Avanade Inc. has created the Energy Sector Partner Portal (ESPP) to allow effective collaboration between all your partners, while protecting your most valuable assets; your information.
The ESPP, built on Microsoft’s Enterprise SharePoint platform, allows for effective governance and enables the consolidation of multiple information sources into a single source of truth. This, in turn, helps reduce non-productive time and significantly reduces project and operating costs.
Join us on February 22nd at 3 PM in the Accenture office at 2710, 140 – 4th Avenue SW in Calgary for a presentation on the Energy Sector Partner Portal.

Realizing results using a Consolidated Business Intelligence (CBI) portal

Case Study:
Like many IT organizations, Microsoft maintains a complex reporting environment with numerous server-based business information systems. The challenge Microsoft IT faced is that multiple reporting systems can cause business and technical issues, such as silos of information, multiple data repositories, reporting tools, and complicated permission schemas.
To help business units within Microsoft make better and faster decisions CBI was developed as a centralized portal application built on Microsoft’s SharePoint Server and SQL Server products. CBI is part of Microsoft IT’s Enterprise Data Warehouse strategy, the solution helps to surface data sources, data subject areas and identify opportunities for data consolidation and enrichment.
If you would like understand how CBI can help your company, please contact Avanade via Email or in the Calgary Office at (403) 476-1473. Please call to arrange a meeting and presentation
