Solver is a Gold certified Microsoft partner, and we work closely with Microsoft's organization in all major areas of our business.

Solver and Microsoft's partnership extend into several areas, including:

• Joint implementations where Solver works closely with team members from Microsoft Consulting Services or Microsoft Business Solution's consulting arm. Solver has also implemented Microsoft Office PerformancePoint Server internally for a number of Microsoft's own business divisions.
  
  
• Product development: Solver resides on the advisory panel for the new Microsoft Office PerformancePoint Server business intelligence suite.
  
  
• Joint solution presentations to large corporate customers, trade shows, seminars and webinars.

For corporate budgeting, consolidations and reporting, we will deploy the Microsoft Office PerformancePoint Server suite or the Microsoft Enterprise Reporting solution. In addition, we will deploy Microsoft Analysis services for slice and dice analysis and Microsoft SharePoint for web portal-based implementations. Finally, Microsoft Reporting Services and Microsoft Office (in particular, Microsoft Excel add-ins for Excel-based reporting and budgeting ) are important components that will be combined into a fully integrated solution based on each specific client's needs.
