Exact Graphical Performance Series (GPS) - Direct Access
Module
It’s a common misconception that a data warehouse is technically required to support the business goal of consolidated enterprise reporting and analysis. Exact Software has developed an innovative solution called Direct Access, which delivers powerful business intelligence, analytics and reporting, without relying on a data warehouse. Exact's Direct Access solution accesses data stored in enterprise transaction systems and delivers it to the user in a fully integrated, business-focused data view. Direct Access uses existing functionality in the source databases, as well as Exact's own patent-pending technology.
The Direct Access solution has been effectively implemented for numerous customers who have realized instant organization benefits, including:
Lower overall costs
Decreased time to value
Increased business agility
Exact’s Direct Access solution is ideally suited for mid-market firms that need to manage their business in real-time to be effective. According to one customer, a construction management firm, “We elected not to build a data warehouse because of the cost, and because of our need to act on information as it enters our systems. With the Exact Software Solution, a Project Manager will be able to bill customers much more quickly – by a matter of weeks – which directly improves our cash flow and our business.” Another customer who is an industrial manufacturer commented, “Our business changes far too quickly for our data warehouse to keep up. It’s like a ball-and-chain whenever we need to update it. Direct Access lets our reporting adjust to accurately reflect our business.”
