Microsoft Philippines recently announced the release of Microsoft SQL Server 2008, the new version of the company’s data management and business intelligence platform.
This version of SQL Server provides powerful new capabilities such as support for policy-based management, auditing, large-scale data warehousing, geospatial data, and advanced reporting and analysis services.
SQL Server 2008 provides the trusted, productive and intelligent platform necessary for business-critical applications.
“Microsoft developed this release of SQL Server with the customer in mind,” said Liezl Milan, product manager for SQL Server of Microsoft Philippines.
“SQL Server 2008 is the only major database and complete solution that allows companies to gain greater insight from their business information and achieve faster results for a competitive advantage,” Milan added.
With its enhanced functionalities, Microsoft is optimistic that the new database management platform will enable it to expand its roster of enterprise customers.
Recently, Amkor Technology Philippines, one of the top providers of semiconductor assembly and test services, upgraded its system to SQL Server 2008.
“We constantly look for ways to augment our company’s operations to improve our services to our customers. The main challenge we had was the storage of large amounts of information that we regularly receive from our factory machines,” said Hans Cruz, information and communications services manager of Amkor Technology.
