Pervasive Insight

Microsoft SQL Server 2011 new Self Services Alerting capability makes it trivial for any end user while viewing a report to define rules and thresholds on data and be alerted when they are reached. This transforms a traditional pull mode activity to a push mode activity greatly increasing Information Workers productivity.

SITUATION TODAYNeed for the ability to proactively respond to exceptional data changes or trends.

Data volumes are always increasing leading to data overload.

Each Information Worker needs to monitor data specific to their job.

END USER ALERTING

Proactive and responsive data monitoring that enables action.

Data Alerts help IWs cope with information overload.

Intuitive and flexible alert rules customized to each Information Worker.
