Leading French retail distributor and business-to-business telecommunications solutions provider SFD historically used Business Objects software to report on business performance. While this technology effectively analysed commercial data, it could not integrate information from operational areas such as human resources, IT, and financial accounting. To solve the problem, the company decided to deploy a consolidated, fully-integrated data warehousing, data analysis, and reporting system based on Microsoft SQL Server 2005. The resulting solution, which was the most cost-efficient available, integrates data from several applications, supporting enhanced management decision making and business intelligence across all operational areas.
