    Increasing Your Business Productivity

    Haven't been out here much the past 2 months or so as we've been busy gearing up for the 2009 Hurricane Season down in FL.  Our local Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) has been busy with training, Hurricane Exercises (HUREXs), and supporting local community events.  I've been working to develop a MS Office Live Small Business application to support CERT in managing personnel and equipment resources as well as financial expenditures and Emergency Management taskings during a disaster.

    However, today I came across a nice video from Microsoft on how businesses can use Office 2007 (specifically Excel and Office Live Workspaces) to increase their productivity and understanding of their business data: Pump Up Productivity with Office 2007.

    Don't have the time or the know-how to do it? That's why we're here - visit us at Chariot Enterprises to see how we can help!

    BI Primer

    Microsoft's Momentum webcasts recently released a primer on Business Intelligence (BI) that provides excellent background information on BI.  You can get a general overview of the BI space and Microsoft's approach to providing solutions therein.  I highly recommend that those new to BI take a look at it at Momentum Webcast: Microsoft Business Intelligence: Improving Visibility into Organizational Performance (Level 100).  This is an introductory webcast that is to be followed by several more beginnning in January examining each component of Microsoft's BI solution in more depth.

    In The Beginning...

    I'm starting out just experimenting with this blog.  I want to see how it's going to interface with other activities that I have on-going such as my company website, corporate blog, etc.  Within these pages, I hope to generate discussions on a variety of topics to include:
    • Aviation training under the FAA's Advanced Qualification Program, or AQP
    • Applying Business Intelligence (BI) concepts and technologies to the analysis and reporting of aviation training data - what I might call "Training Intelligence", or TI
    • Exploring the utility of SharePoint Server 2007 and Services 3.0 with emphasis on its BI dashboard capabilities and its usefulness in an Office Live website.
    With luck and some perseverance on my part, I'm sure that we'll see this list grow.
