Panorama Software is an Canadian software and consulting company specializing in business intelligence. The company was founded by Rony Ross in Israel in 1993; it relocated its worldwide headquarters to Toronto, Canada in 2003.[1]
Panorama sold its OLAP technology to Microsoft in 1996, which was built into Microsoft OLAP Services and later SQL Server Analysis Services, an integrated component of the SQL Server platform.
Panorama's NovaView product suite includes analytics, report, dashboard, visualization and business modeling applications. It integrates with various Multidimensional Expressions-based OLAP platforms including SQL Server and SAP. Panorama supports over 1,500 customers worldwide. Among the vendors of Novaview is Canada-based Cognos, which in 1999 claimed to be the biggest company in the BI market.[2] The company terminated its licensing agreement with Cognos in 2001.[3]
Panorama has been working with Microsoft on radio-frequency identification solutions to integrate with its supply chain tools, and is a member of the Microsoft RFID Partner Advisory Council.[4] Panorama's dashboard product Panorama 4.0 was selected by Microsoft to feature at its global network of Microsoft Technology Centers, and Panorama Software is an MTC Alliance Member.[5]
