Natixis

Natixis participated in the Microsoft TAP program to address the migration of its servers from Windows Server 2003 to Windows Server 2008.

A key influencer in the decision to migrate from 2003 to 2008 was Windows PowerShell, the new scripting language from Microsoft that provides powerful control and supervision over the "High Availability" Windows Server 2008 for their critical applications.

"The ability to test Windows Server 2008 before buying it was a real asset. This allowed us to learn about new features and improvements but also to budget for the migration of our servers." François Dominati, Team Leader at Natixis

GO Sport

By leveraging the BI tools in Microsoft SQL Server 2005, the group Go Sport was able to significantly improve inventory management in ts stores, to the great satisfaction of its customers.   The new BI analysis tools allowed Go Sport to identify key preformance indicators that lead to better analysis of sales trends and inventory management.  By implementing changes based on this new information, we were able to simply and effectively contribute to the overall success of the brand.  

"The progress created by the new Business Intelligence solution is tangible. The time we spent yesterday to find the data, consolidate it and finally cross out each index is now exclusively devoted to the study of dozens of key performance indicators. We already had the data but now we are able to access it and the accuracy of our projections in terms of sales or inventory management. This was a considerable gain for our company."
