1KEY AGILE BI SUITE
Unlocking value of your ERP:ERP systems are known to generate lots of data, but not a lot of information (data rich and information poor).1KEY Business intelligence is the solution to this problem. ERP does not contain all the information that is needed for business and hence disparate data sources thrive in form of spreadsheets or applications. Your company may be among those falling prey to the limits of spreadsheets due to ERP reporting limitation and manual processes as you work to improve information visibility and achieve
compliance. It is important that you’ll be able to trust your data and avoid any inconsistencies in your reporting definitions and calculations due to spreadsheet use even after and ERP deployment. If your existing ERP systems and processes are slowing you down,external reporting and MIS may be problematic. The spreadsheets are fragile and only one person in the company is entrusted with them.But even that person breaks into a
sweat when there is reorganization and the consolidation spreadsheets need to be redone.
There are lots of links between all the spreadsheets and one change could cause cascading errors in unsuspected places.Then when it's all done, the CEO asks for a breakdown of one of the numbers. It seems like a reasonable request,but the accountants are unable to comply on demand. But, even today and even in the largest and most sophisticated companies,the most popular feature in any ERP system is "Export to Excel" - canned reports usually miss the mark for the needs of individual users without additional massaging.Frequently,individual spreadsheets end up acting as central repositories for critical corporate information. ERP comes with a reporting toolset and predefined set of reports with general purpose query tools to generate reports with data within ERP database.These tools are difficult and confusing to use and rely on IT team to deliver the on demand report which will take time where only thing that matters user is answer question
of the moment.ERP provides acceptable day to day operations reporting but if business requirement changes these static ERP reports needs to be changed.While changes in the required report may take developers weeks, month or years or may never change and users demand it now.Since it is impossible to predict the business it is impossible to define reporting needs for next coming years today. By using 1KEY BI and getting reporting done from an external system you are giving power to user to define and generate ad hoc reports
while freeing valuable IT resources. It will quench the ever demanding thirst of users and
empower them to turn data into meaningful business decisions.An effective implementation of MAIA Intelligence's 1KEY Agile solution touches every thread of your organization. Carrying information over organizational boundaries is a pre-condition for creating a broader view and deeper insight at all levels of operation.
