Global
Data Analytics
The challenge in many organizations
is how to translate key business data into goals and objectives, and ultimately
into actions. The key is to identify and track key performance indicators
as predictive measures for future success
Superior business performance
is dependent on aligning the enterprise with corporate strategy and key
performance metrics. Yet most companies fail to communicate their goals
and most fail to translate these strategies into meaningful performance
metrics.

of Global Software's analytics suite helping you to align and focus your
enterprise on business objectives, plans and actions, enabling continuous
performance improvement and agility across your enterprise. ASAP can fully
integrate any of these additional valuable tools into your existing BPCS
system.
The Global Data Analytics suite
includes Spreadsheet Server for BPCS, Executive

Spreadsheet
Server for BPCS |
Spreadsheet
Server converts your familiar spreadsheet software, such as Microsoft
Excel™ into tightly integrated analytical tools for your iSeries
(AS400) BPCS™ financial system. Your financial users can leverage
the strength of your spreadsheets with seamless real-time integration
to your financial information. Spreadsheet Server eliminates the
re-keying or downloading of data into your spreadsheet and makes
your spreadsheet an integral part of your financial application.

Executive
DASH |
Business
end-users need key business data, data that needs to be real-time
and accurate. The concept of Executive DASH is to allow users to
build dashboard type views of this critical business data. This
view can not only include core financial reports through standard
Spreadsheet Server but can now include retrieval of any other data
stored in an iSeries system. The Executive DASH version combines
the power and functionality of the base Spreadsheet Server product
along with additional features. For example, the ability to access
any DB2 data within your AS/400, perform calculation and drill-down
to the detail, import/export pre-configured queries, customize drill-down
data with simple query changes, use data from the spreadsheet as
parameters for the query, and use the provided wizard to create
formulas.

Cost
Analyzer for BPCS |
Cost Analyzer
allows Engineering, Marketing, and Financial personnel to easily
construct product bills of material and routings with instant standard
costs. Make product changes, lot size, or batch size changes and
see the immediate cost impact. Dramatically reduce the amount of
time it takes to configure a product formulation and calculate the
standard cost. With features such as: bill of material maintenance,
process routing maintenance, use BPCS™ item master or create
your own item masters, copy bills of materials and routings from
BPCS™ including alternate methods, no cost rollups required,
perform what-if analysis to evaluate standard cost changes, copy
existing formulations for new items, easy modification of items
and quantities with instant cost change plus much more.

Budget
Manager |
Budget Manager
allows your organization to streamline and control your budgeting
process, ensuring the timeliness, accuracy, and consistency of your
budgets. Budget Manager transforms your budgeting process into a dynamic,
flexible, and responsive system. Leveraging the popularity of the
excel spreadsheet as a budget building tool, the Budget Manager extracts
your budget data from your spreadsheets into a central database. Less
time accumulating your budget detail means more time for analysis
and strategic planning. Global’s approach provides the best
of both worlds, the flexibility, ease of use, and modeling capabilities
of spreadsheets, together with increased back-end capabilities within
the budget database. All of the budget formats and layouts are completely
user-defined, resulting in a more streamlined interface point for
your managers. |
