TORONTO - Panorama Software, a global leader in proactive Business Intelligence (BI) solutions, announced today its socially-enabled BI platform Necto is now interoperable with the Windows Azure cloud-based application platform.

Panorama Necto embodies Web 2.0 communication by allowing users throughout the enterprise to interact within a social, relevant, and user-centric BI platform. Azure is a cloud-based application for the development and management of off-site applications.

"We are very pleased to present our latest solution with Microsoft, and anticipate considerable enterprise adoption of Necto using the Azure platform due to the substantial cost and performance benefits."

"Time and again, we see innovations from Panorama that add value for our end users," said Kim Akers, General Manager for Global ISV partners at Microsoft Corp.
