IDV Solutions has partnered with Microsoft to create a series of events highlighting how business intelligence and data visualization are driving returns in today’s economy. The event series will take place at the Microsoft Technology Centers across the United States, with Atlanta as the first stop on January 28, followed by Irvine, CA on February 17, and Chicago on February 26. The full schedule, event description, and links to registration pages can be found at http://idvsolutions.com/mtc_events.aspx.

Attendees will learn how IDV’s Visual Fusion and Microsoft’s Bing Maps and SharePoint combine to form a platform for developing business-focused applications that unite disparate data sources visually, in the context of location and time. The use of interactive data visualization combined with business intelligence will be demonstrated and applied to numerous real world scenarios. Current case studies from several organizations across a number of industries will be examined, along with specific return on investment evidence. Attendees will learn how their organizations can benefit when they apply these tools to better understand and act on the key information driving their businesses.

“We are all extremely excited about these events,” explained Scott Caulk, Director of Product Management for IDV Solutions. “The response has already been great for these focused gatherings. Organizations have started to understand the great value of putting their information in full context, and this is what these products do. Visualizing and interacting with data in greater context is extremely powerful, and a real driver for success. The cherry on the top is that these types of applications can be built out in just weeks, providing immediate impact.”

Each seminar will cover how this platform allows flexible, agile development and produces applications that support more informed, faster decision making. Attention to business user experience and empowerment is a hallmark of solutions built on this platform, leading to rapid adoption and ongoing user satisfaction.
