Announcement posted by BizData 03 Sep 2014

BizData has been announced as both Business Intelligence and Data Platform partner of the year by Microsoft Australia.

 

The Microsoft Australia Partner Awards (MAPA) recognises the best in class for all Microsoft Partners each year. 

 

Business Intelligence Partner of the Year

 

The Business Intelligence Partner of the Year Award recognises a Partner who has delivered a Business Intelligence solution based on the Microsoft Business Intelligence platform. The winning solution needs to augment a customer’s resources with self-service analysis and enable the customer to make more aligned and informed decisions with better team collaboration.

 

BizData delivered an exceptional, enterprise-wide self-service BI Portal for one of Australia’s leading Telecommunications organisations.  The Portal, built on the strength of the Microsoft BI Platform and leveraging the latest versions of Microsoft SQL Server and SharePoint, provided several business areas a first-time, fully integrated view of data for a range of business functions. The portal provides a one-stop-shop to connect to data, build self-service visualisations, publish reports and rapidly discover and collaborate on insights, scalable to 20,000 users.

 

 

Data Platform Partner of the Year

 

The Data Platform Partner of the Year Award recognises a Partner that delivers an outstanding solution based on the Microsoft Data Platform. The winning nomination must empower a customer with a solution that takes advantage of the leading capabilities of the data platform for mission critical applications with a focus on high availability,

 

BizData, in partnership with Microsoft and HP completed Australia's first implementation of the Microsoft Analytics Platform System (APS), to host the Corporate Data Warehouse for a world leading manufacturer of imaging and optical products.

 

APS provides an unmatched Big Data analytics appliance that allows the organisation to better scale its data warehouse workloads with the PDW (Parallel Data Warehouse) region and expand in the future to incorporate a Hadoop Region to directly address the social analytics requirements of the marketing team.

 

BizData applied best practice patterns to existing transformation logic to leverage the benefits of the Massive Parallel Processing (MPP) engine and reduce processing times dramatically. The solution provided an immediate impact with 10 x performance gains across the batch processing window, which is expected to further increase as optimisation recommendations are progressively rolled out.

 

BizData continues to spearhead innovation and development of Business Intelligence in Australia.  A Microsoft Gold Partner for Business Intelligence, Data Platform and Portals and Collaboration, BizData focuses on helping customers achieve better business outcomes by providing reliable, scalable and cost effective solutions built purely with the latest Microsoft technology.

Specialists in the entire, end-to-end information management lifecycle, BizData’s core competencies span across Data Acquisition and Management, Modelling and Analytics and Information Delivery and Collaboration.
