Microsoft Jordan hosted a training workshop for 150 of its customers and partners on the increasing importance of effective and integrated business intelligence (BI) solutions that will help drive better decision making across organisations and government institutions, resulting in improved IT skills, reduced costs and enhanced business performance. The training workshop was exclusively sponsored by four Microsoft Partners that include STS, BEAT, ElixirSoft and Estarta.

The workshop was delivered by strategic consultant Rafal Lukawiecki who presented the attendees with training on what is required to deliver state-of-the-art reporting, analytic and performance management solutions using Microsoft BI. Lukawiecki, a frequent and popular speaker at Microsoft's global events over the last 12 years, is a specialist in analysing and forecasting trends in the field of Information Technology, BI, statistics, data mining, security and IT architecture. Rula Ammuri, the country manager for Microsoft Jordan, stated: "Our customers rely on solid business intelligence to make effective business decisions, and Microsoft BI has been designed to meet those needs. It has the flexibility to accommodate all the structured and unstructured information organisations use on a daily basis and will provide enterprises, government institutions and small and mid-market solutions and partners with the opportunity to cut costs, enhance IT skills, and increase workplace efficiency." Lukawiecki demonstrated to the attendees how Microsoft's BI solution has the ability to process and organise mass amounts of data from across an organisation, in order to provide staff members with reliable access to information they need to make informed decisions, enabling them to respond swiftly and appropriately to changing conditions that impact their business.
