• Rapid Application Development

Together with the vast choice of “data aware” objects for self service reporting and analysis, BOARD offers a set of integrated performance management capabilities and functionalities. This combination results in a comprehensive “programming-free” environment for rapid BI and CPM application development. This revolutionary “toolkit” approach empowers organizations to implement, customise and maintain CPM and BI applications in a fraction of the time and cost of traditional BI solutions.

• BOARD performance management capabilities include:

• 

• BUSINESS RULES

  BOARD provides a series of actions of various types (multi-dimensional calculation, selections, conditional branching, links to other screens, etc.) which allow the rapid creation of sophisticated models for simulation and support of company processes, such as allocations, eliminations, conversions, consolidations , etc.

  MULTI-USER CONCURRENT DATA-ENTRY

  BOARD supports simultaneous, multi-user data-entry through a native logical function, which propagates changes to all levels of detail (e.g. if you enter the turnover of a products line, the turnover of each individual product will be automatically updated).

• BOARD technology guarantees data validity and consistency, without the need to run batch processes for allocating and consolidating changes made by each individual user.

  DISTRIBUTED WORKFLOW

  BOARD has the capability of assigning tasks to different users in sequence, of launching processes when certain conditions arise and of notifying users of occurrences, making it possible to effectively manage any corporate work-flow, from simple approval cycles, to complex budgeting processes and multi-country consolidation.

• MULTI-DIMENSIONAL WHAT-IF AND GOAL SEEKING

  Advanced What-if analysis and Goal Seeking functions are combined with the ability to create and manage scenarios, thus providing a powerful multi-dimensional simulation environment in which the impact of future events is automatically extended to every level of data aggregation, from the broadest outline (e.g. Sales by Division) to the lowest level of detail (Item Code).
