Panorama Necto BI Suite Announces SQL Server 2012 Support - Downloadable now for Beta Testing

TORONTO, March 6, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Panorama Software, a global leader in proactive Business Intelligence (BI) solutions, announced today its socially-enabled BI platform Necto is now on SQL Server 2012, Microsoft's cloud-ready database software. The solution is currently available for download for beta testing.

Necto analytics allows enterprise users to receive the full power and value of SQL Server 2012. Working on both MDX and DAX languages, it can handle the combination of both organizational OLAP data and in-memory user data with seamless migrations. Complex enterprises with multiple data sources can utilize Necto as a connection point to develop broader insights, which are all viewable in a web-based workboard.

SQL Server 2012 is designed to work with metadata that is people oriented and relates to actionable intelligence. As the metadata grows, so does the enterprise's number of Necto workboards, which are combined into the platform's relevancy engine. By sorting through hundreds of workboards, Necto's engine is able to present cross-departmental information in a relevant and manageable form.

"We are very pleased to offer Necto on SQL Server 2012 for beta testing download and firmly believe this combination will have a transformative effect on enterprise analytics," said Eynav Azarya, CEO of Panorama Software. "Our collaboration and integration experience with Microsoft enables Necto to be a perfect complement to SQL Server 2012, a combined solution that quickly produces relevant data insights."

"Panorama continues to offer significant added value to Microsoft products," said Claude Lorenson, Director of SQL Server Marketing at Microsoft Corp. "Necto, using the power of SQL Server 2012 gives enterprises a solution that enables the seamless combination of data from multiple sources, including the cloud, applications, flat files, financial reporting, and several others. And the self-service workboard means this combined data can be quickly turned into actionable intelligence."
