| Analytics – Uncover Trends In Business Performance |
|
|
|
Your information is the only thing your competitors can't replicate, and hidden in that information are insights that can help you widen the competitive gap. Staying competitive requires faster and better-informed decisions.
Operational reports provide necessary information but often generate additional questions. Reports can tell you what is happening, but it's the analysis that provides the fuller story about when it happened, where it happened, and potentially why it happened.
When users are ready to further investigate, Analyzer's™ rich analytics helps users explore deeper into the data to find hidden insights. Analyzer leverages SQL Server's® OLAP technology which allows users to easily analyze data from any perspective. Users can quickly locate problems and drill-down to look for root causes.
OLAP technology allows analysis to be free-flowing, letting users follow their thoughts, without risking query errors. OLAP technology structures the data so that any possible question and possible combination of the data is always answered based on the same original data set, and the technology automatically generates the queries, reducing any potential for introduced errors. Analyzer allows even non-technical users to perform analysis from the simple to very complex with the confidence of knowing that their results are based on sound data.

Interactive Visualization
Analyzer's interactive charts deliver valuable analytical insights, illustrating not just the degree of change from one point in time
to the next, but also the shape, velocity and direction of change. By putting data in motion, users can spot trends and see details they
might otherwise miss.
These visual analytics help users interpret data and discover both expected and unexpected results. With dozens of different charts and
graphs, there are a number of ways to visually display the information. Users can choose to display data in standard bar, line, and pie
charts or more advanced charts such as candlestick, funnel, scatter, or bubble charts. Analyzer’s unique heat map function helps users
quickly locate problem areas by both size and impact.
Once charts are displayed, Analyzer offers further customization to help users interpret the data. In 3-D bar and column charts, smaller
data values can sometimes be hidden behind larger values. Analyzer provides the ability to add transparency to the bars, allowing smaller
bars to show through. Users can also rotate the charts both up and down and side to side. Plus, Analyzer lets you choose between a
two-dimensional display and a three-dimensional display, allowing each chart or graph to be optimally expressed.
Users can further customize the charts through access to the axes settings. Adjustments can be made to the scale of the X and Y axes,
as well as the spacing, style, and title. This allows the chart to portray the information in a way that makes the most sense for the
viewer.
Explore and Discover
Every Analyzer chart is dynamic and interactive, which enables users to make changes at the speed of thought. As new ideas and questions
come up, users can drill down or filter the data and instantly see the results.
Sometimes the trends are not immediately obvious. Analyzer has a number of pre-defined measures to help highlight and locate trends.
Calculations such as ranking, percentage, time series, rolling summaries and growth rates help users identify directions in the data,
and grouping functions like top/bottom performers and 80/20 rule help identify standouts in the data.
Companies often have unique ways they need to look at information. Analyzer provides the flexibility to create custom measures and even
custom MDX coding within the report. If this customization is needed for more than one report, Analyzer can leverage any custom measures or
MDX that is defined in SQL Server.
Product managers and department leaders often manage a subset of the company’s products. Analyzer allows users to define named sets, such
as product subsets, and reuse them in a report. Named sets that are used frequently are usually defined in SQL Server, where they can be
shared across multiple Analyzer reports and dashboards.
Data dimensions, such as customer and product, often have member properties that are defined in SQL Server. For example, a member property
of customer might be their zip code.
In addition to the usual dimension reporting such as 'customer' or 'product', users are able to report on and analyze member properties
using these dimensions.
This gives the user even greater analytical power as they can explore each dimension more fully and gain even more insight.
Analyzer's drill down and drill up functions let users explore the data thoroughly. As they drill down into lower-level details, Analyzer's
data source viewer allows users to get at the source data by drilling through the OLAP cube to access the relational tables. If there is a
particular area of interest, the user can see the underlying table-based data.
By default, any changes in the pivot-table data are reflected in the charts. However, users can unlock the charts from the table to
allow independent tracking and analysis. Charts can also be easily copied or moved to other related reporting pages in the set.
With charts and tables in hand, users are ready to put them all together for comprehensive corporate performance management.
