Business Intelligence
Business Intelegence
The business intelligence solution provides a framework that enables presentation of raw data from various systems into meaningful and useful reports that can be used to better run businesses. It features a series of dashboards usually representing departments or functional groups within an organization. The dashboards allow the group to get on the same page with the latest information within the organization. This can include structured data like that present in ERPs or unstructured data like word or PDF documents. The business intelligence practice involves three areas of specialization: data extraction, data warehousing, and presentation.
Key features of the solution include:
User Self Service
The dashboards are designed to enable business users to do as much as possible without the need for involving IT. The portal enables users to create and add new widgets, add new users to slice and dice information into presentable reports based on a pre-defined data model.

Visualizations
Visualization is to data what a graph is to an equation. It helps represent the data graphically and makes the discovery of patterns and trends easier. Examples of visualizations includes bar graphs, line graphs, Pie charts, Surface Area charts, Scatter plots, Heat Maps, bubble, doughnut, and radar plots.
Data from almost any source can be visualized using the solution. This includes most ERPs, Text, Excel, and other office files and any OLEDB/ODBC compliant data source. Most visualizations natively support representation of aggregated data like ‘total sales by quarter’.
In Memory
The analytics engine mentioned above supports in-memory analytical querying. The feature reduces / eliminates the need to store and query data through physical disks. All the data is stored in a machine’s memory (RAM) enabling extremely fast data retrieval. In certain cases, this eliminates the need to pre-aggregate data or to create pre-designed indexes on the datasets.
Mobile BI
All reports on the dashboard are built using HTML 5. This enables rendering of all dashboards and reports on a variety of devices including the most popular mobiles. We support Android, iPhone, and Windows Mobiles by default.
