whitepaper Data Warehousing System Adds New Level of Efficiency2007-01-23 01:00:26 Microsoft
  AstraZeneca Philippines needed to replace the operating system for its management reporting system, which was cumbersome, non-intuitive and prone to error. It worked with Microsoft Consulting Services to implement a data warehousing system called Picasso to serve AZP sales and marketing staff. The flexibility of the solution means that reports can be created much faster, which speeds up operations considerably. In the past, programmers had to customize and maintain reports for users as the system was not easy to use. Now they can extract data to Microsoft Excel and change and download reports themselves. Man-hours are also saved as trainers are spending more time discussing the merits of the system rather than advising information workers on how to use it.
