Business Intelligence for Small and Medium Enterprises

In today’s marketplace, small and medium organizations are looking to deploy Business Intelligence (BI) applications in the most cost effective manner.  Software as a Service (Saas) provides a more cost effective solution than most BI fully licensed applications.

But before you implement any old BI SaaS application, make sure it’s comprehensive. It should allow you to monitor, analyze and act on your data.

All of these attributes should be available in one application.

KPI Online recently launched their full basic financial model allowing users to monitor, analyze and act upon Revenue, Expenses, Inventory, Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable data.  Also included in the model is a free database connector capable of connecting to the most popular ERP systems such as AccountMate, MS Dynamics NAV and SAP Business One.

BI Essentials: Monitor, Analyze, Act

How does the KPI Online pre-built dashboards and analytics allow you to monitor, analyze and act upon your data?  It’s simple:

Monitor:  With a collection of over 15 pre-built dashboards in the basic financial model, KPI Online provides visually pleasing graphs, charts, tables, etc. for quickly viewing your data.  The interactive dashboards provides users the ability to personalize these dashboards by adding or deleting metrics or drilling down within tables.  Using filters on the dashboard, one can filter the data by specific dimensions, such as product category, sales executive, customer, etc.

Analyze: KPI Online includes a decision support system to analyze data in the most efficient and effective manner.  Users have the ability to create reports using drill-down capabilities, add new metrics “on-the-fly”, convert data tables to charts, compare data through different time periods, etc.  This decision support system is packed with features to assist you in analyzing data but in case you needed to export the data to Excel, that functionality is also available.

Act: Knowledge Intelligence is included with KPI Online.  What is Knowledge Intelligence?  It’s the ability to take actions and track the results of those actions, i.e. create a project, assign tasks to the project and track the results of that project.  It’s also the ability to view possible causes and possible solutions for low performing key performance indicators.  All of this is included with no additional fees.

One low-cost SaaS comprehensive Business Intelligence application is all that is needed to perform all of these functions.
