Microsoft's Technologies
		We use the newest version of the framework (3.5). We decided to migrate quickly to the latest framework because of the efficiencies offered by Microsoft's new LINQ technology. In additional, we are adopting the full suite of new technologies (WPF, WCF, WorkFlow) to better serve our clients.
		We support both SQL Server 2005 and SQL Server 2008. The limitations of the Analysis Services in SQL Server 2000 make it unusable for our applications. Our hosted services run on SQL Server 2008 because of the improvements made to Reporting Services. We use SQL Server, Analysis Server, and Reporting Services.  We intergrate with but do not use SSIS because it is limited compared to our tools.
Exemplar Components
		The Data Handling Engine (DHE) is an extract-transform-load application built 100% in C#.Net. It includes tools for managing a large number of input text files, performing data cleanup and auxilliary computations, and loading databases using BULK-LOAD. It supports a hyper-efficient data storage format that is optimized for analytics. If you are familiar with Microsoft's Data Transformation Services (DTS) or SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS), this tool is a next-generation replacement for them and much easier to use and extend.
		The Cube Builder is a configuration tool for building OLAP applications. It organizes the configuration information for a project into a maintainable XML-format. Using the configuration file, it faciliates the process of building and loading the datamart, creating the OLAP cubes, and accessing the results from a web application. This tool makes it much easy to create, customize, and maintain OLAP applications.
