Microsoft ProClarity Analyst and Administrator

ProClarity, a Microsoft Subsidiary, puts your business intelligence to work - moving you quickly beyond a barrage of numbers into "why is this happening?" and "how can we improve it?". ProClarity is designed to expand the capabilities of Microsoft business intelligence, making information simpler to access, easier to use and clearer to understand.
