Tap into a new level of Business Intelligence
Designed for Arrow SQL users
| 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. |
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.
