Pyramid Analytics and Microsoft: Aligned Efforts in Healthcare

Pyramid and Microsoft have been working together since 2010 with Pyramid Analytics’ BI Office and Microsoft SQL Server Analytics Services (SSAS). They have a proven record of helping companies use their existing investments in the Microsoft BI infrastructure with a robust analytics engine. As a result, organizations can implement self-service BI across the whole organization, with BI Office and SQL Server.

In May 2016, Pyramid furthered its technology integration with Microsoft by introducing the "Publish Power BI Desktop Reports to Pyramid Server" functionality in BI Office. This enables users to publish their reports and visualizations to a centralized repository, integrate data from multiple environments into a single location, and overlay security and administrative governance—all in a web-based, on-premise or private cloud platform. This integration enhances competitive advantage when combined with BI Office’s advanced analytics features for the enterprise. It also allows the strong capabilities of Power BI Desktop to be on-premise, which is particularly important to healthcare customers.

Healthcare Analytics Solution for Providers and Payers

The joint solution from Pyramid and Microsoft has broad market potential for both provider and payer organizations. Most of these organizations need to incorporate disparate legacy systems into a centralized, governed platform for analytics. Providers strive to use secure data to drive patient outcomes, improve safety, improve operational performance, and enable medical staff for self-service data discovery. Payers aim to improve patient health, gain a competitive advantage, measure what they manage, and retain large employer groups by providing self-service analytics for external users.

Customer Success Stories in Healthcare

High-profile Pyramid and Microsoft customers include the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, Blue Cross of Idaho, CareFirst of Maryland, Memorial Healthcare System, St. Joseph Medical Center, and St. Luke’s Health System.
