Operational reporting can become a drain on server resources and affect performance of the core software. Furthermore, new recurring reports may need to be integrated into the product. Addition of new reports as standard functionality can take weeks and months. If you add advanced analytics to the list, things can get even more challenging.

Would you like your customers to take control of their reporting needs?

A Business Intelligence (BI) framework leveraging the core product data model is increasingly becoming the de-facto standard for reporting and analytics from transactional systems. Combining a data mart with a BI interface, the solution will enable users to:

• Create their own reports, as well as drilldowns, pivot tables, and slice and dice, on the fly.
• Run reports and analytics without needing to know the underlying database structure or SQL.
  

This can be designed as a seamless plug-in module - either bundled with the core product or separately licensed. Solution development will not require access to the business logic or actual data; the data model and test data will suffice.

Benefits include:

• Speed up reports production.
• Deploy the resulting time and cost savings in enhancing product functionality.
• Achieve a revenue accretive solution that can be licensed to customers.
• Increase competitive advantage with added product differentiation.
