AvantGo Extends Microsoft Solutions to Mobile DevicesAvantGo Inc, a mobile Internet company, announced that AvantGo Enterprise was demonstrated during Microsoft's Fusion conference, July 15-17, by Microsoft Corporation's SQL Server group as part of its mobile data warehousing solution. AvantGo Enterprise solutions enable organizations to extend interactive enterprise applications and data beyond the desktop to mobile workers, through either a wireless connection or through desktop synchronization. The Microsoft demonstration, "Business Intelligence on the Road," highlighted Microsoft and AvantGo products working together to deliver business intelligence reports to Windows-Powered Pocket PC devices. The solution invokes SQL Server OLAP Services cubes, runs queries and renders corporate data onto mobile devices, either live or cached for disconnected use. "Microsoft is dedicated to delivering quality business intelligence capabilities and with AvantGo Enterprise we are able to extend those capabilities to Pocket PC devices," said Steve Murchie, Group Product Manager at Microsoft.
