Arrow BI - Tap into a new level of Business Intelligence
designed for ArrowSQL users...
| In today's competitive marketplace
organisations are often searching for better ways to
gain a holistic view of their business. Organisations
need the ability to translate business strategies into
plans, monitor their execution and gain insights into
how they are tracking in order to manage and improve
both their financial and operational performance.
Business Intelligence (BI) provides you with the smarts
needed to quickly identify trends and opportunities to
make faster and more informative decisions. |
What is BI and how does BI help?
Business Intelligence is the process of translating
data into information, and then more importantly into knowledge.
We all know that financial data in isolation can be meaningless;
it is our ability to interpret, analyse and monitor that data
which is a critical success factor in business today. BI can be
applied to the critical areas of your business where the extra
knowledge and insight can give you the information you need to
make changes that bring positive and measurable results.
How does Arrow BI work?
Arrow BI is a business intelligence tool that has the capability
to empower you to proactively manage your business. Arrow BI
analytics dashboard is a web based application running inside
Internet explorer that facilitates KPI (Key Performance
Indicator) dashboard, scorecard and analytical report creation.
It sources data from Microsoft SQL and Analysis Services (that's
why you need to be on ArrowSQL to implement Arrow BI). The
Arrow BI analytics dashboard is fully interactive and enables
users to slice and dice and interrogate information via online
drill-down tools. It provides users with advanced filtering and
reporting capabilities, giving everyone in your organisation a
clear window into performance and enabling you to track critical
information quickly and easily. If you arm your decision makers
with the right information at the right time, you can help them
make the right decisions.
