It offers a complete, fully integrated set of BI technologies that can help make building, managing and using BI less complicated and more economical.

Enterprise Business Intelligence
Business Intelligence (BI) is the process of transforming raw data into useful information that improves decision-making. Only a revolutionary business intelligence solution like JunctionBI can solve the complex issues multi-channel retailers, food & beverage processors, and consumer goods manufacturers and distributors face. These challenges include general use business intelligence applications that are poorly suited for their industry, overly costly and complex systems, applications that can’t adapt to dynamic business environments, and products that demand highly specialized skill sets not always available in IT departments.
Data Warehouse
Junction Solutions has packaged years of industry-specific experience with powerful tools to bring you JunctionBI, the Data Warehouse in a Box. Through many sales channels, customer transactions are collected. By starting with a standardized data architecture that is designed from the ground up to capture and enrich this sales data, Junction Solutions keeps the initial design and development costs at an affordable level.
Data Integration
With Junction’s suite of tools to convert legacy data, JunctionBI can start by extracting, transforming and loading data. Our robust data architecture captures customer transactions right down to the campaign, catalog, market basket or order line item. If you have loyalty card information we have room for that as well.
Automation is the key to getting data from the source to the database as quickly as possible so we’ve provided complete workflow processing. Transactions are automatically processed according to your schedules, cleansed and loaded, as frequently as you need, even near real time.
JunctionBI is a comprehensive Data Warehouse and Business Intelligence System designed to ensure everyone within an organization has the most accurate and up to the minute information required to make critical business decisions with confidence. The system has been architected using the latest technology from Microsoft, including SQL Server 2005 database technology, Extract, Transform and Load tools (SSIS) and Reporting Services (SSRS).
Multi-Dimensional Database
At the heart of JunctionBI is a multi dimensional database designed to store data in such a way as to facilitate rapid, flexible access by users. Access to information in the data warehouse is provided by Microsoft Excel, SQL Server Reporting Services or many other popular reporting tools such as MicroStrategy, Crystal Reports and Business Objects. Reports and queries can be initiated by users from anywhere in the organization, using desktop or web browser interfaces provided as standard. Information can also be generated on a scheduled basis centrally and ‘broadcast’ to users or individuals as required.
