CMBI can help you unlock the full potential of Microsoft Azure's myriad of services and capabilities for business intelligence, reporting, analytics, and data integration.
Low start up costs and no infrastructure management
If you want to build reporting and analytics for your on-premises or SaaS applications but do not want to manage infrastructure or pay large upfront licence costs, then Azure is the answer.
CMBI's Azure services
CMBI specialise in the Azure services that support reporting and analytics. We can guide you through the entire Azure journey from initial setup, choosing between services, data integration, through to delivering end user reporting and insights
Using Azure, CMBI can now deliver end-to-end BI platforms at a fraction of the upfront investment required for similar on-premises deployments.
CMBI's Azure expertise
The key to managing Azure services effectively is that you only pay for uptime. We carefully configure scheduling and use of Azure resources. This allows us to build solutions using technology that would have previously required large upfront investment.

Azure engagement structure
CMBI typically start new client engagements with a short Discovery Phase. We work collaboratively with your stakeholders to understand your requirements, discuss options and outcomes, and develop a lightweight prototype so that you can see and touch the benefits.
Typically, the Discovery Phase is a 2 to 5 day engagement over a couple of weeks duration. We can come on site or work remotely to demonstrate capabilities and to complete all aspects of configuration and development.
