Ian Dicker, Syrinx Director of Architecture, Writes About Dashboards

Business Intelligence, or BI, is a rapidly growing sector of IT development and expenditure budgets. The products range from financial modeling tools, data analysis, data mining, reporting, charting, etc. The large vendors, Oracle, IBM, and Microsoft, all have products in this space and continue to develop new ones and refine the existing ones. These tools generate huge amounts of additional data and charts about the business data. This, in turn, creates a new problem: how do you make all this data readily consumable and, more importantly, actionable. How do you summarize the data? The answer is a Business Intelligence Dashboard, or Dashboard.

Syrinx CEO Quoted in "Betting on SharePoint: A Web Exclusive from Windows IT Pro"

Andrew Gelina, Syrinx CEO, said that his company's initial offering was large-scale Web developments. "Then we noticed early on that Microsoft was selling an awful lot of licenses around the SharePoint platform, that Microsoft had a winner on its hands, and that everyone was going to need services to get it implemented," he said. He was right, and Syrinx moved into the SharePoint consulting arena. And with the skyrocketing uptake of Windows SharePoint Services (WSS) 3.0 and Microsoft Office SharePoint Server (MOSS) 2007 over the last year and a half, that path has proven to be a good choice.

"Buried Treasure: Uncovering SharePoint's Riches" published by Syrinx Director of Sharepoint Practice

At least half our engagements began with clients asking exactly what SharePoint can do for their companies. In most such cases, they've already purchased the enterprise version of SharePoint with enough licenses to cover their entire organizations-and yet they typically have little understanding about how to best use the product.
In one case, the client, a 300-employee leadership consulting company, was so frustrated with its initial SharePoint experience that it was close to starting over from scratch with another product or custom-built solution.
We had been brought in to help clean up that problematic installation. As we did, something interesting happened: The company's executives completely changed their minds about SharePoint.

Syrinx Consulting quoted in InfoWorld Article, "The 7 dirtiest jobs in IT"

Working in IT isn't always pretty. After all, we can't all work on the cutting-edge technologies all the time. Some of us have to get dirty -- in some cases, literally.

"There's an interesting inversion principle at work here," Gelina says. "The value of people with skills built around those systems had been going steadily down for a long time. Now that companies can't find anyone to work on them, the reverse is true. If you're a consultant who specializes in one of those older technologies, you've got a pretty good niche."
