BlueGranite works with clients and alliance firm members who may be analyzing business processes, business controls or financial reporting requirements to determine what key processes they would like to see monitored or modeled.  We will then design and implement a solution utilizing a Microsoft Business Intelligence platform that will integrate with the client’s existing systems.   BlueGranite is a Microsoft Gold Partner and one of Microsoft’s top Business Intelligence partners nationally.

Our Performance Dashboard solutions makes it easier for firms to see how they are doing, relative to planned business activity.   These solutions typically help clients monitor controls, analyze, collaborate, and plan around key business activities by drawing from and providing a snapshot of organization’s business intelligence. Business Intelligence refers to assembling information from a firms existing systems, and using that to provide historical, current and predictive views of how the organization operates in a simple to use and understand format. A Performance Dashboard facilitates better decision making by enabling employees at all levels of the organization to find the information they need, at the right time and in the right format. Responding to this information quickly is a primary factor in a company’s ability to achieve a competitive advantage. 

We are headquartered in Kalamazoo, Michigan and have satellite offices throughout Michigan and the Midwest, including Chicago and Tennessee.  We are able to serve clients throughout North America because of our proximity to major transportation hubs and because of our extensive virtual or remote capabilities.  Our solutions lend themselves to virtual development efforts and our clients take advantage of the cost savings from reduced travel time.

Our services include the design and configuration of a Microsoft Business Intelligence platform including SQL Server 2005 (AS/IS/RS), PerformancePoint 2007 (M&A and Planning), SharePoint Server 2007, and Excel 2007.  We assist the client in making decisions to properly and creatively leverage Microsoft’s vast range of features to meet the business users’ needs.  We then present solutions that are consistent with the architecture and the design of BlueGranite’s proven best practices.
