North Star Analytics Information

Founded in 2006, North Star Analytics LLC (NSA) is a new venture assembling a suite of software solutions that will enable people and organizations to intuitively harness powerful analytical tools for information analysis and discovery. NSA also provides business and technical consulting services to help organizations address a serious business capabilities gap. Briefly stated, many organizations do not realize the full value of their technology solutions because they are ill-prepared and/or ill-advised on how to approach defining, designing, building, stabilizing and deploying those solutions . NSA believes that the Microsoft Solutions Framework® (MSF) provides a proven approach to addressing this gap. As outlined in Mike Turner's new book about MSF, MSF provides an adaptable framework for successfully delivering solutions faster, requiring fewer people, and involving less risk while yielding higher quality results. MSF helps teams directly address common causes of technology project failure to improve success rates, solution quality, and business impact. Created to deal with the dynamic nature of technology projects and environments, MSF fosters the ability to adapt to continual change within the course of a project. Since MSF is an evolving body of knowledge, practices and approaches, NSA has created an MSF Community to make available the latest MSF news, information and updates. NSA also added a forum for MSF practitioners to share their experiences and questions.
