Accounting Department Reporting - Now, let's run this accounting report. We'll extract the financial data, and this example is running live. Here's all the data for company 100. Now, you can perform analysis on this data. This is the high level. If you'd like to drill down to show more information, you can create a drill that would show you the detailed journal entries. Or you could do what's called a break out. Now, for a break out, you click the icon for break out and then select how do you want to break this information out. Well, in this case go and use the reporting segment to grab reporting segment 2, which I said earlier that's a location. Reporting segment 3 is department. Click ok, and now it's going out and retrieving the information. You just saw in 30 minutes how to create simple summary reports and detailed reports. We showed you how you can add some filters, add some graphs, create some cross tab reports, and pivot tables.

Is there integration with our existing security policies, and how do we set it up? Well, this has been set up for you. It absolutely is leveraging your existing security protocols. From a financial side, the integration is at a company level. In human resources, or human capital management, security integration is on the employer, the employer group, your level and security group.

Admissions Department Dashboard - Universities and higher education institutions are typically thought of as places where information and data disseminate from. However, from a business intelligence perspective, there is also a large influx of data at these types of institutions. For example, universities collect and store datasets regarding student demographics, academic performance, housing status, meal plans, academic departments, class enrollment levels, and other important information.

BI Systems and the Finance Department - We're switching gears now. That was our background on business intelligence. Now we're going to talk about BI systems and how they relate to finance. It's my attempt to depict what I think people in finance departments do as their finance system or the BI systems that they tend to interact with on a daily or weekly basis starting with operational systems. Those are the systems that run the business on a day to day basis, be it general ledger, your accounts payable, accounts receivable, sales, invoicing, things like that. Operational reporting is a confusing term. It means different things to different people and can be actually implemented in many different ways. But at a high level it's about running reports off of individual operating system. We have business intelligence which is all about generating reports off of a data warehouse or a data mart. It's obviously a little more than that, but that captures its essence in terms of the strategies and benefits of BI. And then there are other systems: the planning, the budgeting, the forecasting and the consolidation systems that Finance uses. Now, if I could draw a circle around the planning and budgeting square and the business intelligence square, I can't do that on this Web conference system, but if I could, and pull those two systems together, you get something that vendors today are touting as performance management. And performance management is now making a big difference, perhaps even bigger than BI...

Business Intelligence Financial Dashboard Software - Finance departments arguably face a wider set of information management challenges than any other department in an organization. Some of the challenges are common across functions, but several are specific to Finance. Finance Departments face many challenges that interfere with gaining Data Intelligence: 1. A Multitude of Disparate Data Sources – Finance owns the accounting and financials data, but also needs to access data from every other function, from the CRM system, to the supply chain system, to the transactional and operational databases, and even marketing and HR systems. Outside of these is staff generated data stored in spreadsheets, whether they are forecasts, performance trackers, or special analyses. Ultimately all of this information needs to be mashed up to get the whole picture. 2. Limitations of Tabular Reports – The first generation of information reporting has been the tabular report, whether structured as in financial statements or essentially print-outs of a database. These are useful for presenting the facts, but not for telling the story. Not until those data dumps are imported into a spreadsheet, massaged into metrics, and turned into charts can analysts begin to tell stories about the data. 3. Too Many Reports – Relying on reports also leads to ever growing libraries of static reports as new ones are requested for each new question that comes up during the course of running the business. The libraries become overrun and disorganized, leading to potential confusion and errors, and certainly inefficiency. 4. Too Much Manual Reporting – Without self-service access to data, staffers make their own reports, importing, or even worse, copying and pasting data into spreadsheets and creating their own reports. This leads to more inefficiency, and worse: errors. 5. Spreadmarts – With operational data stores being so hard to change and not suited to key metric calculations and aggregations, finance staffers often resort to creating their own spreadsheet "databases." No longer tied to the systems of record that might be updated over time, the result is competing versions of the truth. 6. Dependency on Data Scientists – the era of Big Data means there is an ocean of data that potentially could be analyzed, but most organizations don't have the expertise to tackle the challenge...

Creating a Report Showing Corporate Staff Performance - Maybe you just want to create a report showing corporate staff performance. You can unselect all of them. Hit corporate, and just get the corporate staff. Maybe you really want all of the organizations for the company, all the divisions, hit okay. Maybe you want to analyze certain plans, so you can unselect that, and say, hey, I just want to do dental, life, LTD, medical, hit okay and now you have got that. Similar to as in Excel, you can always comment, highlight, right mouse click format and make it currency, okay. Or, you can exchange the column headings, make them all the same, cool. Now as you're doing this, you can do all kinds of things. You have got this in a pivot table. You can do analysis, and again leveraging the power of the dashboard designer, you can go in and add a pivot chart if you want to. t's very simple. You simply choose the kind of chart you want to have, and now the chart represents the same data as above. And whether you start to filter above or below you can come down, it's synched up. You might say, hey, I want different benefit plan. I also want to include supplemental life. Hit okay and refresh both the charts and the pivot table. And you can do all that because the data came directly from the database. You didn't have to export it. You didn't have to save as. You can go and do your analysis, and there is even a way to make these charts and graphs automatically update whenever you rerun the reports. That's a really powerful, really powerful way to get to the data. So going back, I'm going to scroll down. You'll see now we are in a variety of different sheets at the bottom, and going back to my sheet one, I want to manipulate the report a little bit more...

C-Suite Management Dashboard Examples The best way to keep your finger on the pulse of your enterprise is with business intelligence dashboards. Top management face the challenge of making sure that day-to-day business activities are aligned with the company's long-term goals. One way to periodically and conveniently track performance is with dashboards displaying Key Performance Indicators (KPIs). In general, no software application is going to provide top management with KPI's ready-to-use, since KPI's are metrics that are often derived from formulae that are specific to an enterprise and need to be mapped into the software application. With this in mind, InetSoft designs business intelligence solutions that are easy-to-deploy and easy-to-use. InetSoft's dashboard tool provides top management with visual analyses constructed in real-time by dropping data items into visual elements such as charts, graphs and gauges...
