Business Intelligence Software : arcplan Analytic Services – Integrated Analytics with Comprehensive SOA Support
The promise of a Service Oriented Architecture (SOA), in which parts of applications are exposed and shared with other applications using Web services standards, is fast becoming a reality. SOA isn't just a hot topic in IT circles; this trend is also poised to transform how business is done:
- A company improves cash-flow and sales forecasting by monitoring data from different systems - cash-flow and accounts receivable from an ERP system, sales information from a data warehouse and commodity pricing data from an external news feed - to understand how a change in commodity prices affects customer purchasing, leading to better forecasting.
- An energy exploration company streamlines decision-making by tapping into 3rd-party as well as company field research data sources, making all of the data available together in real-time for the first time.
- A company improves a supplier return process by accessing different systems to identify expired products in inventory and monitor and manage the return process using Web services from supplier systems.
With arcplan Analytic Services, use analytics anywhere. Use any Web service - from a legacy or operational system, a business intelligence data source, a 3rd-party source or even another arcplan application - as a data source within your arcplan deployment. Expose any arcplan analysis - such as a financial dashboard based on Hyperion and SAP data - available as a Web service for other applications. And monitor and improve entire business processes - instead of just metrics - with business intelligence that alerts on conditions in multiple systems.
Comprehensive SOA integration of analytics requires not only access to data, but also sharing the results of analysis with other applications. With arcplan Analytic Services, the promise of SOA is delivered - analytics where you need them, regardless of your existing IT investments.
