The New World of BI 

A Single, Integrated BI Solution

The InPhase Suite can be delivered with its own Business Intelligence layer, or can be seamlessly integrated into your existing BI architecture, enabling users to carry out additional low level slice and dice and predictive analysis.

By using the full capabilities of the INPHASE Suite, pulling Performance Management reporting and BI together your users are offered a truly rich environment in which to plan, assess (in detail) and revise the Businesses Plans and front line activities. Every user can see in one simple picture, outcomes, risks, performance, budgets, and front-line data in a single view.

Data Warehousing

Data Warehousing can help you provide insight into corporate data through an integrated, centrally managed, and trusted data source. Using the PerformancePlus® BI database you have an enterprise-ready Data Warehouse platform that can help extend the value of your enterprise data.

With INPHASE BI® you get more than just data management tools - you get the core components to build a trusted BI platform:

• The data integration platform brings your data together from virtually any source within your organisation.
  

• The format of the industry leading ad-hoc analysis engine - online analytical processing (OLAP) - enables decision makers not only to explore data in ways that make sense to them, but also to centrally define and manage organisational business logic, such as key performance indicators (KPIs).
  

• Supports a broad variety of data analysis scenarios - from simple ad-hoc analysis to sophisticated predictive analytics - all in familiar, easy-to-use tools.
  

• The managed-production reporting environment helps you publish highly formatted and interactive reports that make data easily accessible to a large number of people.

Query and Analysis

Integrated data mining and predictive analytical functionality makes advanced analytics accessible to a much wider audience than ever before. The InPhase approach will enable you to leverage powerful data mining capabilities to forecast metrics and spot trends, which can all be carried out using full integration with MS excel if desired.

This combined with the already very powerful statistical forecasting within the Apps, enables you to achieve both descriptive and predictive statistics and even create custom analytical models.

Integration with MS Office

The InPhase BI offering provides seamless two way integration with MS Office, making it simple for you to access data and move it from the database to Excel or to the InPhase App®. This provides you with a hugely powerful way of managing, analysing and sharing data. Documents stored in a Microsoft Office SharePoint document library can be referenced and called from within any App.

Data Integration

The traditional ETL-centric data integration from standard data sources continues to be at the heart of most Data Warehouses. However, demands to include more diverse data sources, regulatory requirements and global and online operations are quickly transforming the traditional requirements for data integration. In this fast growing and changing landscape, the need to extract value from data and the need to be able to rely on it is more important than ever before. Effective data integration has become the basis of effective decision making. The InPhase solution provides a flexible, fast and scalable architecture that enables effective data integration in current business environments.

InPhase will support your comprehensive data automation requirements including:

• Extract, transform and load data from multiple data sources (each with different formats)

• Manage data quality

• Make sense of different data Formats

• Clean data prior to it being loaded into PerformancePlus®

• Transform the data into a format that is meaningful to Business Analysts

• Manage huge volumes of data

This approach will also enable you to handle different types of data, for example, data from a call centre that is semi-structured can be handled as easily as binary data from your legacy applications, and of course it will also pull data from your application databases.

SQL Reporting Services (SRS)

Although very rarely required, the InPhase Suite is even integrated with Microsoft SRS, providing you with very extensive reporting power using a built-in Report Writer or Microsoft Business Intelligence Development Studio.
