One product
From the outset, BOARD was conceived as a solution to maximise the efficiency of
organisations’ decision-making processes, by integrating Business Intelligence
(BI) with Corporate Performance Management (CPM): a visionary approach named
Management Intelligence.
Fifteen years later, BOARD leads the way in BI and CPM
unification, providing a seamless solution from both a technological and
functional standpoint. A full complement of Business Intelligence functions,
including reporting, multi-dimensional analysis, ad hoc querying and
dashBOARDing, is combined with the ability to manage and monitor all performance
planning and control processes, from budgeting, planning and forecasting to
profitability analysis, scorecarding and financial consolidation.

One vision
BOARD helps organisations reach a single
vision of their performance in a simple and extremely effective manner.
Information originating from various sources is integrated into a virtual data
repository shared by the entire organisation, thus providing business users with
a customised but unitary vision. The native integration between the information
base and applications ensures that changes made to applications are propagated
to data, and vice versa.
The end-result is a full alignment of the Business
Intelligence and Performance Management environment, which translates into a
shared vision of corporate performances throughout the organisation, hence into
a single version of the truth

One technology
Unlike its main competitors, BOARD is not
based on a patchwork of different products and technologies coming from multiple
acquisitions and then forcibly integrated.
The result of an organic development
project launched in 1994, BOARD is a unique, integrated product, which enables
organisations to oversee their entire Business Intelligence and Performance
Management area using a single interface, a single application construction
environment, a single technology and a single strand of know-how
