Webinars

Date/Time	Webinar Name & Description
May-22 1pm Central Register »	Dashboards and BI (analytics) WITHOUT a data warehouse / data mart
May-22 1pm Central Register »	You’ve probably heard that implementing a BI (business intelligence) system is a complex and costly undertaking. This traditionally involves building a repository (database) of your operational data called a data warehouse or data mart. You’ve probably also heard how costly the hardware is and how long it takes before your new system is functional. And if all this hasn’t scared you away, you may have heard horror stories about the amount of time your IT staff will need to spend to manage it. We’d like to share some exciting information with you! You can get all of the benefits of a traditional BI solution, without all of the cost and complexity! With our solution: Graphical Performance Series (GPS), we take a very non-traditional approach that we call Direct Access, which alleviates the need to build that repository of operational data (data warehouse / mart) while still providing robust Dashboards and extensive drill-down analysis through detail-level data. Our unique Direct Access approach connects you to all of your detail-level data, no matter where and how many places it resides today. We understand that this is a unique concept and we’d like the opportunity to explain it in greater detail to you. Attend this informative 45 minute Webinar to learn how hundreds of companies and thousands of users are taking advantage of our unique Direct Access approach. Our customers often: • Are up and running in 3 – 6 weeks • Bring together data from many different sources • Significantly reduce the report and query building/maintenance load on their IT staff

"GPS has replaced my 'morning report.' It allows me to drill down and understand the 'why' of my business. When I need a different view of the situation, I can have it in minutes without IT getting involved."
