Kalido, the active information management company, today announced that the latest version of the Kalido Universal Information Director will extend Kalido's BI support to Microsoft Office, Microsoft PerformancePoint business intelligence software and Microsoft SharePoint services.

Kalido's Universal Information Director automates the generation and population of Microsoft SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS) cubes with data from the Kalido Dynamic Information Warehouse, Kalido's flagship data warehousing software.

These cubes can be accessed by Microsoft Office, Microsoft PerformancePoint and Microsoft SharePoint. They are also available to any third party BI tool that connects to SSAS cubes, extending the reach to users of more than 40 other BI tools.

By making the information in the Kalido Dynamic Information Warehouse available to users throughout the enterprise, more managers can use their company's information assets and BI tools to secure answers to complex business questions.

Once the SSAS cubes are built by Kalido, they can be widely distributed throughout an organization and accessed even while disconnected from the server.

With this release, enterprises of all sizes can now seamlessly deploy a fully integrated, end-to-end business intelligence (BI) solution based on Microsoft and Kalido.

Customers committed to a Microsoft strategy can develop a robust BI infrastructure using the Kalido Information Engine, including the Kalido Dynamic Information Warehouse and Kalido Universal Information Director, with Microsoft SQL Server database software, SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS), and SSAS technologies.

This release complements the Kalido Dynamic Information Warehouse's current support for Microsoft Excel, making the information within the Kalido data warehouse even more widely available to users of Microsoft's BI tools.
