whitepaper Electronics Manufacturer Reinvigorates BI Application With New Interface2009-07-01 Microsoft
  Japan-based, high-tech manufacturer TDK-Lambda designs, manufactures, and distributes power-supply components. The custom Web interface for the company's business intelligence application was slow and confusing for many employees, which resulted in poor usage. TDK-Lambda developed a revolutionary, new interface by using Microsoft Silverlight, a cross-platform, cross-browser plug-in, that enables Line-Of-Business (LOB) Web applications to perform like desktop applications. Today, the Silverlight-based LOB application provides more than 90 charts that meet the company's reporting needs for manufacturing, inventory, financial management, and sales, providing an experience that is radically different from a traditional LOB application. The new Silverlight-based interface has helped improve usage rates and has become a catalyst for the creation of a new business culture.

whitepaper Business Intelligence: A Strategic Imperative in the Current Healthcare Economy2009-07-01 MedeAnalytics
  In today's climate, healthcare providers face increased economic, regulatory and competitive pressures, all of which threaten to reduce revenue and squeeze already decreasing margins. Rising bad debt costs due to the uninsured, increased government scrutiny and a rise in hospital consumerism are forcing hospitals to improve clinical, financial and operational performance. The recent downturn in the economy has only exacerbated many of these challenges, driving hospitals to cut costs through layoffs and freezing capital spending - drastic moves and abrupt changes for an industry traditionally seen as insulated from economic woes. These actions may aid in alleviating short-term financial challenges; however, they do very little to help achieve the long-term outcomes of efficient, high-quality healthcare.
