Many NZ public sector organisations have invested in the SharePoint platform, and are looking for ways to deliver genuine business value from within its range of capabilities. With pressure on to work smarter not harder, get more done with fewer people and less money - business insights and agile decision making can make all the difference. SharePoint is a key component of the Microsoft Business Intelligence platform, and this newly relased case study from Austin Health in Australia demonstrates the rapid time-to-value of choosing Microsoft BI, and the power of shifting from a report production culture to dashboarding and self-service analytics.

Some of the key points:

  • Austin Health already owned the key platforms - SharePoint, SQL Server and Excel
  • Implementation in 10 months
  • KPI visibility now daily (or hourly!) rather than monthly
  • Easy management of security due to integration with Active Directory
