Finance Departments at Multinational Manufacturers Get Interactive Visual Analytics
Piscataway, NJ - August 8, 2011 - InetSoft Technology, an innovator in data mashup driven dashboard and reporting solutions, and Management Systems International (MSI ), experts in financial planning and reporting, announced a joint solution for interactive dashboard reporting on top of a powerful financial consolidation and information management platform. Now, multinational firms using diverse ERP and financial systems will be able to visually understand and explore their financial data in order to manage their financial operations even more efficiently.
MSI’s years of experience in corporate finance have led to a product and services solution that unifies budget and expenditures data coming from disparate data sources, potentially in different currencies, for a cohesive view of corporate financial performance. The application, The Management Performance System (MPS), consolidates financial data into a Microsoft SQL data warehouse and controls multiple levels of viewing and update permissions giving divisional heads and the CFO the ability to effectively plan, manage, measure, and analyze corporate performance. Combined with MSI’s expertise in project management and financial management best practices, customers can automate processes that improve efficiency to achieve strategic and tactical objectives.
Prior to the joint solution, users of the Management Performance System have relied on Excel-based tabular views of data, which provides a familiar environment that fully leverages existing skill sets. Now users will be able to enjoy highly graphical, information-packed interactive dashboards and visual analysis tools that the InetSoft business intelligence suite offers. The InetSoft visualization toolset, included in the BI platform Style Intelligence, enables quick drag and drop design of visually appealing charts and gauges driven by point-and-click controls such as filter lists and range sliders. The joint solution comes with several pre-built financial monitoring and analysis dashboards and can be extended as desired by the customer.
Hermann Kreimer, CEO of Management Systems International, said, "We are very excited about the combined InetSoft - MSI solution. Now the top management of an enterprise can easily analyze problems and trends and quickly take corrective action."
"This combined financial dashboard reporting solution is a tremendous option for enterprises because they do not need to assemble two naturally complementary applications themselves," pointed out Mark Flaherty, CMO at InetSoft. "Finance executives have been able to use the Management Performance System for great control and visibility across complicated organizational budget structures, and now they will have the power of InetSoft's visualization technology, whether in an CFO’s executive dashboard or a financial analyst’s multi-dimensional analysis to quickly view performance and to spot trends or variances."
