Our client Onesource has commissioned Soft Light to take part in the customer base merge project. Also we are working extensively to provide them with Sales Analysis report. Our specialists are using datawarehouseing technology as a back end as well as PivotTables and MS Data Analyser to view the resulting cubes. The reports are fully integrated into MS SharePoint Portal Server as the WebParts. This approach gives to the company the stadard "IE desktop".We have developed several custom searches using WebDAV to implement them as a WebParts. These searches significantly facilitate the access to corporate resources, resulting in improved usability and time savings.

Field Technicians KPI (key performance indicators) reports are distributed to branches. The technology used to generate the
reports includes MS SQL Server Data Transformation Services - to extract the data from BPCS (AS/400) database; PST Data Server
to ETL (Extract, Transform and Load) data preparation; MS Analysis Services - to build datawarehouse. Few cubes include calculated
members - extensive usage or MDX queries; and finally MS Excel XP's Pivot Tables and Charts as report viewer.
It was a tough decision on viewing tools and it has been made for using MS Excel Pivot Tables, which seems the most cost efficient solution.
