The Insider's Guide to Next-Generation BPM

MicroStrategy Incorporated, a provider of business intelligence software, says Cascade Natural Gas Corporation has chosen the MicroStrategy Business Intelligence Platform as its business intelligence standard. Cascade Natural Gas Corporation, with headquarters in Seattle, Washington, has 440 employees in Washington and Oregon.
"After considering business intelligence solutions from Hyperion and Crystal Decisions, we have selected MicroStrategy due to its scalable architecture, Web-based user interface and extensive report formatting capabilities," said JD Wessling, CFO at Cascade Natural Gas Corporation. "With 16 district offices across Washington and Oregon, we require a platform that provides up-to-date reports with minimal bandwidth and client software installation requirements."
As Microstrategy exlains it, “The first phase of MicroStrategy report development will enable the Finance and Accounting departments to perform period-end financial analysis against a Microsoft® data mart and reduce the reporting time to company management. End users will be able to view the core financial reports via the Web, and explore data by dimensions that were previously unavailable. Cascade intends to build several additional business intelligence applications on the MicroStrategy platform and roll them out over time to more than 200 users throughout the company.”
"People underestimate the importance of choosing scalable business intelligence technology for their very first data warehouse project," said MicroStrategy's COO Sanju Bansal. "Smart, forward-thinking companies like Cascade Natural Gas Corporation are seeking MicroStrategy's industrial-strength platform to meet initial business needs and accommodate future growth in users, applications and data - precluding the need to switch technologies down the road. MicroStrategy's sophisticated capabilities - flexible and user-friendly reporting features, scalability, Web deployability to thousands or more users, and superior analytics - are well-suited for companies like Cascade Natural Gas Corporation whose business requirements will naturally grow in complexity and size over time."

Some use the term Enterprise 2.0 exclusively to describe the use of social networking technologies in the enterprise, while others use it to describe a web economy platform, or the technological framework behind such a platform.
