KPI Analyser from West Trax provides strategic SAP KPI’s with minimal effort

ROSS ON WYE, U.K. - Dec. 16, 2013 - PRLog -- The West Trax KPI Analyser requires minimal relevant data from the SAP ® system. This is evaluated according to predetermined formulas and algorithms. The data is processed at the click of a button, so the results are available immediately for use as benchmarks, tables and graphics. The quick wins for the business are significant reductions in the time, effort and resources required for projects seeking to identify optimisation potential in in the SAP ® environment.

Heterogeneity - a recurring theme in SAP® systems

Diana Bohr, CTO of West Trax, knows the business issues on the table when considering globalisation and optimisation processes involving SAP ® systems. She describes the problem as follows, "Initially there was only a generic expression of the software for all industries. But in recent years, due to market requirements, a clear industry focus has resulted in the emergence of so-called "Industry Solutions". However not all companies have taken the logical step towards industry solutions. Many have not migrated from their individual solutions. In the resulting heterogeneous system landscapes West Trax establishes their optimisation potential and solutions”.

Reusability and benchmarking

Once loaded data is stored on the West Trax server and can be exported to a local computer for further processing. An Internet-enabled device and an Internet connection are the only requirements. SAP ® users can purchase License Keys for the analysis of one or more SAP ® systems. Each Key allows any number of analyses for the relevant system. Profitability calculations show the achievable ROI. Trend analysis provides insights into changes in SAP ® system optimisation.

With more than 1,400 SAP ® analyses completed in 15 different industries, the West Trax benchmark database provides a sound basis for the comparison of relevant KPI’s.

The results can be viewed and downloaded by client management at any time. All spread sheets and graphics are optimised for iPad use. Flexible and easy to use, it delivers immediate results and always works with the latest benchmark and reference data. There is no impairment of the SAP ® system. The West Trax KPI Analyser is a “Must Have” solution for all SAP customers

Standardised queries

What data in the customer's SAP ® system to be investigated is determined in advance, for example:

      % unused application

      % Custom Code

      Number of unused custom code programs

      Custom code usage frequency

      Trend display based on past measurements

The results are presented in list form. Previously performed analyses can be saved for comparison and trend monitoring. West Trax recommends carrying out the KPI analysis on a monthly basis in order to achieve maximum transparency.
