ICS Partners With AnalySoft to Deliver Their Award Winning RSinteract End-User Interactive Reporting Interface for MS Reporting Services as a Zero-Client Front-End to AnalySoft's Industry Leading Business Warehouse for Microsoft(R) Dynamics(TM) ERP Systems at VELOCITY 2006, Microsoft's Worldwide Partner Conference in Boston, MA, July 11-13, 2006 -- Booth 1411

Market Wire, July, 2006

ICS will use VELOCITY 2006 to demonstrate to Dynamics partners, BI partners and ISVs their RSinteract report design and interaction interface for MS Reporting Services, which won the Best of Tech-Ed 2006 award in the Business Intelligence (BI) category. Today ICS announced a partnership with AnalySoft, leaders in the rapid deployment of Business Warehouse solutions for Microsoft Dynamics ERP systems, including Dynamics NAV(TM), Dynamics AX(TM) and Dynamics GP(TM) (formerly Navision, Axapta and Great Plains). ICS will demonstrate RSinteract in conjunction with the AnalyServer Business Warehouse product from AnalySoft to show how rapidly and effectively the two products can be used to benefit the customers of leading Dynamics partners.

RSinteract is a web-based, zero-client interface for business end-users and information professionals to harness the power of MS Reporting Services, a key component of SQL Server, to gain access to valuable data and information for reporting and operational decision support. RSinteract provides intuitive functionality for end users who are able to benefit from a self-serve interface enabling them to design, build, publish and interact with reports based on both relational and cube data. RSinteract empowers non-technical business users to leverage the benefits of the powerful SQL Server Reporting Services platform for the first time.

AnalySoft's Business Warehouse (BW) is powered by patent-pending AnalyServer(TM) technology which is tightly integrated to the Dynamics ERP systems to create and manage a next generation data warehouse solution. Employing all of the components of the Microsoft Business Intelligence stack including SQL Server, Analysis Services, Reporting Services, MSOffice and SharePoint Services, AnalyServer delivers a fully reconciled data warehouse environment which can be installed and configured in as little as an hour.

RSinteract supports both MDX and SQL queries to AnalyServer enabling the analysis of aggregated sales, financial and operational summaries held in the OLAP HyperCube layer and then drill through to the lowest level of atomic data, such as invoice line items, within the AnalyServer data warehouse. The advantages of using the AnalyServer Business Warehouse, rather than raw ledger data, is that the numbers are already balanced and reconciled between all the key ledgers, so that everyone is working from the same version of the truth, and the key business metrics, such as gross margin and profit by product and by customer, are immediately available for analysis.

Dr Nigel Geary, Founder and CEO of AnalySoft said, "When I first saw RSinteract I recognized its potential to accelerate the adoption of Microsoft Reporting Services as a true BI tool by business users. Our customers and partners who are using MS Reporting Services have struggled with the creation of their reports due to lack of technical skills and time. RSinteract removes a big barrier to deploying MS Reporting Services in our customers around the world."

Christian Smyth, CEO of ICS added, "Companies like AnalySoft can deliver a powerful ready built Data Warehouse 'Application' in hours, saving organizations serious time and money over typical hand-crafted solutions. ICS and AnalySoft have a common vision to deliver BI to the masses through rapid deployment products which empower business users to gain immediate business insight from the mountains of data held in ERP systems."
