Solution Features Business Intelligence Functionality from Vanguard Solutions
Exact Software™ (Amsterdam Euronext: EXAH.AS), a leading provider of solutions that connect the people, processes and knowledge essential to an organization, today announced the availability of Exact Business Analytics™, a comprehensive business analytics solution that provides users with the enterprise-wide intelligence necessary to improve the decision-making process. Exact Business Analytics is the result of a strategic relationship between Exact Software and Vanguard Solutions.
In an effort to share information across the enterprise and identify emerging trends more quickly and accurately, mid-market business leaders are increasingly seeking business intelligence solutions that will give their organizations a competitive edge in the marketplace. Featuring pre-defined analytics fully integrated with Exact Macola Progression® and Macola® ES, Exact Business Analytics enables users to conduct online and offline analysis and consolidate reporting on a wide range of business processes including inventory, sales, manufacturing, distribution and finance.
"In the past, many organizations have suffered from a lack of access to and analysis of information locked away in enterprise resource planning or customer relationship management systems," said Chris Lenzo, director of products and operations for Macola and e-Synergy, Exact Software North America. "With Exact Business Analytics, mid-market organizations can create an accurate, real-time view of all of the critical business metrics, thereby turning all data into useful information."
Integrating and displaying data from Exact applications and other ODBC-compliant sources such as existing legacy systems and spread sheets, Exact Business Analytics' robust executive dashboard capabilities provide business users with drill-to-detail access to data. With user-defined Information Views, which combine data from single or multiple sources, users view this information in real-time without relying on a data warehouse or repository.
"In order for today's mid-market businesses to react to changing market conditions, business users must have the ability to access and analyze data from across their organizations," added Lenzo. "Exact Business Analytics provides users with the executive dashboard capabilities necessary to stay on top of their businesses."
