White Paper: Precision Considerations for Analysis Services Users
This white paper covers accuracy and precision considerations in SQL Server 2005 Analysis Services. For example, it is possible to query Analysis Services with similar queries and obtain two different answers. While this appears to be a bug, it actually is due to the fact that Analysis Services caches query results and the imprecision that is associated with approximate data types. This white paper discusses how these issues manifest themselves, why they occur, and best practices to minimize their effect.
Microsoft technology helps New Zealand banks take mobile payments
Paymark operates New Zealand’s Electronic Funds Transfer at Point of Sale (EFTPOS) infrastructure. Paymark’s two key functions are to authenticate credit and debit card payments and transfer funds to retailers’ bank accounts at the point of sale. The company wanted to extend the service to a wider range of merchants by introducing a remote payments capability, enabling consumers to make real-time bill payments using their mobile phones. Paymark selected Microsoft Certified Partner M-Com’s PayAnywhere mobile payments solution built on the Microsoft® .NET Framework. The flexible and seamless Microsoft development environment allowed the solution to be created quickly and cohesively. This provided cost savings and enabled Paymark to get the solution to market faster. The Paymark Remote service, as it is known, allows Paymark’s customers to offer mobile payment services to New Zealand consumers through their mobile phones.
