Business Intelligence used to be restricted to the few power users in the company, limiting the potential value it could bring.
Data analysts and IT developers were the only ones skilled enough to write queries and format results. Over time, companies have begun
to realize that their data contains information that can benefit any user at any level.
In addition, the value of information is now being extended beyond the internal business users and out to customers, partners,
distributors, and suppliers. This is known as ‘pervasive BI.’ For BI to become truly pervasive, it needs to be easy to access, easy
to understand, and easy to share with all users, both inside the company and out. Today, everyone benefits from pervasive BI as they
help manage corporate performance, and Analyzer makes that happen.
Self-Service BI
Accessing data and developing reports can take a considerable amount of time and IT resources. Many IT departments have full
development queues that put delivery weeks and even months away, and business today just can’t wait. Even if IT could turn around
development quickly, business users can’t predict every possible report they will need in the future. Today’s BI must deliver a
self-service environment that allows users to freely create reports and views as quickly as the business changes.

Easy to Learn
In order for BI to be self-service, it has to be easy. Many BI tools require in-person training courses, limiting deployment to
a select few power users and limiting potential value to all users. With Analyzer, any user at any level can begin creating reports
immediately. No formal training is necessary. Analyzer’s user-friendly design, drag-and-drop interface, and context-sensitive menus
let users work in a familiar and intuitive environment, making it easy for anyone to begin using Analyzer effectively right from the
start.

Reduced IT Burden and Costs
Report development is not the only burden on IT. There are the initial costs to deploy reporting tools, as well as installation and
configuration activities. The cost of supporting reporting tools can quickly surpass the initial deployment costs. Extending BI beyond
corporate walls becomes even more difficult when there is little or no control over the users’ environment. In addition, there are lost
opportunity costs as IT spends time managing multiple report requirements, when that time could be spent on other more value-added projects.
Analyzer removes the burden from IT, making it simple to deploy, manage, and extend pervasive BI both inside and outside your organization.

Quick to Deploy
Analyzer leverages your existing IT infrastructure, integrating seamlessly with Microsoft technologies. Analyzer is easily installed
on existing Microsoft IIS® servers. There is no need for additional hardware. Because users access Analyzer through a 100% zero-footprint
browser interface, IT no longer needs to spend its scarce resources installing, configuring, and supporting user software.
In addition to browser deployment, Analyzer can also be deployed through Microsoft SharePoint®. This allows users to work in a familiar
environment and provides a single portal for access to the user’s entire suite of information. Analyzer can also be integrated into existing
applications through its comprehensive set of web services, giving your existing applications additional reporting and analytical
functionality.

Simple to Maintain
Not only is it easy to install and deploy Analyzer, but once it’s up and running, Analyzer is also simple to maintain. Analyzer
requires no need for special monitoring because it is based on Microsoft technologies and can be monitored using the same monitoring
tools used to monitor SQL Server and IIS.

A Scalable Solution
In order to be effective, BI needs to be fast - not only with small datasets, but very large ones as well. Analyzer is a proven
solution for mission-critical enterprise BI applications in even the most demanding environments with millions of rows of cube data.
In addition, a successful BI solution must be able to scale to handle hundreds or thousands of users simultaneously. Analyzer has been
designed with these important considerations in mind and is able to meet even the most demanding user loads. Hundreds of users can be
handled with a single server, and Analyzer’s load balancing option allows it to scale up to thousands of users.
Analyzer is also available in a software-as-a-service (SaaS) model. Using SaaS, Analyzer can be hosted on your server(s) and accessed
easily by your customers, just as if each customer had their own on-premises Analyzer installation.

Easy to Extend
Pervasive BI means extending business intelligence beyond the power users, to any user at any level, and even beyond the corporation
to your customers, suppliers, and partners. Any authorized user with a web browser can access Analyzer’s full functionality, according
to the permission level you assign them, making it easy to extend BI beyond your corporate walls. For multi-company requirements,
Analyzer is available in a multi-tenant version and operates exactly the same as the single company version.
The value of your data extends beyond you and your external partners. Analyzer can help you create new revenue streams by allowing
you to offer data and analytical tools to your customers. OEM’s can easily customize and integrate Analyzer into existing applications.
OEM developers can use Microsoft Visual Studio® to access and customize Analyzer’s web services and APIs. Plus, Analyzer’s zero-footprint
web-based browser interface makes it easy to deploy and extend to customers around the world.
