These are advanced solutions - created without programming
With a single product, Board provides all the functionalities needed for programming-free development of business intelligence and performance management applications. Its unique self-service approach allows for quick and easy report creation and adjustment. The interactive environment makes data analysis child’s play.
Budgeting, Planning & Forecasting
Board offers a modern IBP (Integrated Business Planning) platform that enables the integration of strategic, operational and financial planning, providing control over overall business performance. Unlike spreadsheets, Board's multidimensional planning environment can utilise a single shared database and incorporate multiple workflow, security, change tracking and versioning mechanisms.
This improves the control and efficiency of the entire process and ensures all-round reliable results on the one hand and significant savings in terms of time and resources on the other.
Advanced functions for what-if and cause-and-effect analyses combined with the ability to create and manage scenarios enable multidimensional simulations in which the effects of future events are automatically calculated from the highest aggregation level (e.g. sales by department) down to the smallest detail (e.g. article number) at all evaluation levels.
Reporting
Board offers a modern self-service reporting environment which allows the user to create and edit any report imaginable using Drag&Drop. The Board interface allows the user to use any Board object (graphs, cockpits, tables) as a starting point for analyses and to easily control filters, sorting and alarms to work intuitively with the data.
Each user can save and manage the results in their personal dashboard, the so-called PinBoard. This gives them personalised access to the data. The comprehensive integration into the Microsoft Office environment enables users to perform analyses directly from Excel as well as create Word documents and PowerPoint presentations based on board objects. The direct connection to the Board database always guarantees the most up-to-date data.
Dashboarding
A large selection of speedometers, data views, widgets and other objects whose data is automatically synchronised makes the creation of user-defined dashboards quick and easy. These visualise important trends and influencing factors of company performance at a glance. Role-based views allow a single dashboard to be used by multiple users, with everyone only seeing the data authorised for them.
Graphics, icons and containers such as carousels, sparklines and books ensure that the most important information is presented with striking clarity. Native drill-down and drill-through functions show any desired level of detail in the data and offer the possibility of immediate, in-depth analysis.
Analysis
With Board, data from diverse sources can be easily consolidated. The resulting self-service analysis environment provides users with numerous possibilities:
Data Discovery simplifies searching for data, metadata, and applications, allowing users to use the results as a starting point for further analysis.
Drill-Through and Drill-Anywhere allow navigation through data from the highest level of aggregation down to the smallest detail level.
Slice & Dice OLAP Analysis enable multidimensional data views from different perspectives (e.g. displaying sales data by sales channel, region, employee, POS), facilitating the exploration of all possible connections (e.g. sales of employee X, product Y, in region Z).
What-If and Goal-Seeking Scenarios simulate the impact of future events and determine the actions required to achieve targets.
Business Data Modelling create models for allocation, assignment, consolidation, conversion, and reallocation.
Ad hoc Queries enable users to independently query and analyse data without assistance.
