Columbus, Ohio (MMD Newswire) October 24, 2012 -- B.I. Voyage (BIV), a Columbus-based Data Warehousing and Business Intelligence consulting firm, today announced it has purchased a SQL Server Parallel Data Warehouse (PDW) appliance that they will leverage for training, utility/tool development and the development of industry specific Data Warehouse and Business Intelligence solutions.
The PDW purchase by BIV enables them to offer their architects and developers' world class training on the appliance, while simultaneously providing their customers with market leading PDW services and support.
"With the market having few experienced PDW consultants, having our own PDW allows BIV to provide additional training to our staff above and beyond the training that Microsoft offers. Our personnel will acquire experience working internally on our vertical solutions or helping on BIV hosted proof of concepts, rather than learning on the job at the customer's site." Ted Tasker Chief Data Architect at BI Voyage.
In order to meet customer demands, BIV is also investing in the creation of industry specific data model based solutions on PDW and the Microsoft Business Intelligence stack. Through a recent joint venture, BIV is now empowered to offer 52 different industry segments with specific Data Warehouse and Business Intelligence solutions that cater to the customer's specific and individual analytical requirements. With the development of these pre-designed models on the PDW data platform, BIV can now offer its customers scalable industry specific solutions that were created from industry best practices, ultimately reducing project risk and accelerating the deployment of large scale Data Warehouse and Business Intelligence implementations on PDW.
"PDW is a great MPP Database platform for data warehousing but on its own PDW is an enabling technology not a solution; BIV's purchase of our own appliance allows us to start building end to end solutions within the Microsoft stack leveraging a core industry specific data model." Joe Anstine VP at BI Voyage.
