Why invest in a BI solution?
Microsoft Business Intelligence (BI) provides a brand new view of
corporate data, making your important data relevant, immediate
and actionable.
Most corporate data sits in numerous systems from transactions
and interactions with customers, staff and partners. But this data
often isnt stored the way you want to report on it. You need the
right information at the right time, in the right form to empower
confdent decision making. Thats what BI does.
Business Intelligence makes your data come alive. It highlights
areas of strength and weakness, and shows you what needs
immediate attention. BI presents information graphically and
attractively, cutting through to the key issues, enabling you to
take control of any business situation.
Microsofts BI tools heavily leverage Excel, making it easy to work
with familiar business applications, empower end users with self-
service analysis and interactive data visualisation.
There are a number of business benefts for considering
Microsoft BI:

Ability to easily create custom reports with PowerView

Access to simple, self-service reporting tools

A single, unifed view of your aggregated data

Increased productivity from users being able to focus on
better customer service

NEC Australia is one of the largest and most experienced
Microsoft BI providers in Australia. Our expertise spans a
variety of best of breed business intelligence technologies, an

We base our development approach and designs on the proven

for your business. Our training and certifcation across these
applications and platforms enables us to fully understand real-
world strengths and weaknesses, so you can use BI to take

NEC is a leader in building Microsoft BI solutions for
our customers within Australia. One such success is our
work with Terry Truck Rentals (TTR Hertz).

TTR Hertz recognised it needed to support its
business and staff with an advanced, integrated
technology platform to monitor and analyse ERP and
external data in a unifed fashion.
NEC was engaged to deliver an intelligent, integrated
solution that could be used by staff at all levels.
Microsoft Business Intelligence was included in
the scope to provide end-to-end reporting via a
simple dashboard interface. Income and expenditure
reporting to and from head offce and the branches
is greatly improved by the new BI functionality.
The management team can now build queries
and automate elements of TTR Hertz reporting
requirements which previously had been developed
within the manual boundaries of Excel spread sheets.
