Analytics

Corporate governance means permanently controlling the situation. Doing so requires being able to quickly receive the answer to any query in a form suitable for further analysis. It is absolutely unacceptable for a modern company to face a situation in which information is available in the database but cannot be promptly extracted without performing many unnecessary actions and bringing in programmers. Specialized programs, called reporting systems, are used to resolve such problems.

An analytical reporting system must enable the untrained user to quickly extract any necessary information from the programs used in the company. It must offer mechanisms ensuring flexible configuration of different slices, and convenient and intuitive ways to visualize the obtained results. The analytical platform Loginom is such a tool. It contains everything necessary for creating analytical reporting systems:

• Regular reporting. In order to obtain regular reports, the analyst can visually design the necessary scenarios in Loginom. Later, the user will extract this information almost effortlessly, simply by selecting the desired report in the special palette.
• Ad hoc queries. To ensure efficient operation of the company, it is not enough to create a standard reporting system. It is impossible to foresee all the possible needs that users may have, therefore, Loginom contains special mechanisms for processing ad hoc queries. Using a simple form, users specify on-the-fly what they need and the system itself formulates the database query, extracts the information and presents it in a form suitable for further analysis.
• OLAP analysis. Loginom has a convenient built-in OLAP module which allows multivariate analysis to be performed. It offers all the multivariate operations, including sorting, grouping, filtering, refinement and so on. Data handling is performed quickly, on-the-fly, and is understandable to untrained users.
• Integration. With Loginom, analytical reports can use information from dozens of sources: data warehouses, data storage systems, DBMS, files and many other sources. The results can be viewed on screen, exported to office applications (MS Excel, Word, Access), uploaded to a web site or loaded to a database.
• Easy to use. Creating an analytical solution with the Loginom platform does not require any coding. Virtually all the operations are performed in the visual design mode using special wizards which help the analyst, whose work is separated from that of the end-user. The analyst uses wizards to create scenarios that implement unrestricted processing logics, and the end-user simply selects the desired report and automatically receives the necessary data.

Loginom is a perfect platform for creating analytical reporting systems. The use of this platform guarantees simplicity of use, short implementation time, low total cost of ownership and a dramatic reduction in report preparation time.
