Today's business climate is changing more rapidly than ever before. Technology innovations have created a global economy resulting in increased competition, increased shareholder demands, and ... a wealth of opportunity! However, to capitalize on market opportunities organizations must become more agile, making better decisions at every turn.
Numerous technology innovations - data warehousing, intranets, extranets - are employed to help organizations to manage their information. CorVu's Business Intelligence application - CorBusiness - both complements and leverages these technologies, allowing organizations to employ information as a strategic asset. By providing better information access and analysis, CorBusiness empowers users to make the best use of information, thus improving the performance and success of the organization. The challenge is to use information to develop better intelligence and gain insight in order to make better business decisions. CorVu's CorBusiness meets this challenge.
CUSTOMIZED INFORMATION
Information is 'consumed' by individuals in a variety of different ways. For example, senior executives, business analysts, IT professionals and others will not only access differing sets of data, but also analyze this information in different ways for different purposes. This requirement is necessitated as organizations become leaner and critical daily decisions are driven to lower levels. For this reason, CorBusiness delivers an integrated application suite that offers a complete range of business intelligence capabilities. This empowers all users to make more informed, and therefore, better business decisions.
FLEXIBLE, SCALABLE ARCHITECTURE
As successful businesses navigate through today's turbulent market, their agility is enhanced by a business intelligence solution that can adapt and grow with them. CorBusiness meets this requirement with an architecture that offers support for both 2 and 3-tiered client/server options, thin-client implementations, and web deployment. Additionally, users connect natively to all major relational - and most multidimensional - databases. This provides a secure future in a business intelligence application that can grow with your business needs.
EASE OF DEPLOYMENT AND ADMINISTRATION
Leveraging this architecture, CorBusiness provides multidimensional analysis of information without the traditional overhead of such solutions. While support for multidimensional and ROLAP databases is available, such complex systems are not required, enabling CorBusiness to be deployed very rapidly. Additionally, CorBusiness offers single-point administration, dramatically reducing both the initial installation and ongoing maintenance.
Product Summary:
Information, Intelligence and Insight
 | ANALYZE
Powerful information access and analysis options enable users to develop intelligence about their historical performance and gain insight into future opportunities. In order to gain such insight, it is vital to have quick access to current information. CorBusiness’ robust analytical capability provides the functionality necessary to gather valuable knowledge from corporate information storehouses.
In addition, it streamlines information management processes by providing timely information to the right executives. Having helped thousands of organizations drive organizational change, achieve continuous improvement, and exceed performance targets, CorBusiness is a robust business intelligence solution. |
 | GRAPHICAL ANALYSIS
CorBusiness’ Graphical Query & OLAP empowers users with easy ad hoc access to data. Once retrieved, users can drill dynamically through their data to explore and analyze information. Such ad hoc analysis enables users to uncover and understand trends that may be hidden in the data.
Users can also create informative visual reports formatted with unlimited headers and footers, aggregates, conditional color-coding, and have the ability to interactively expand and collapse detail-level data. Users have excellent control over graphical output with the ability to insert bitmaps, wallpaper, etc.
Enhanced drag and drop control of data dimensions gives users the flexibility to pivot and navigate through their information in a truly interactive and ad hoc fashion. Graphs may also be "rotated" at will for 3- dimensional viewing, giving users a complete visual understanding of the information.
Graphical Analysis |
 | EXECUTIVE ALERTS
Executive Alerts are among the easiest to use yet most powerful of CorBusiness' integrated solutions. Often referred to as a dashboard, they enable executives to quickly and graphically monitor "key performance indicators" (KPIs). Quick visual presentation provides immediate information regarding the health of an enterprise.
With CorBusiness, users may interactively drill into an Alert by clicking on the graph to view specific sub-groups and constituents of the graph. This capability is key to providing decision makers with the appropriate level of detail to answer specific business questions. |
 | REPORT WRITER
The CorVu Report Writer is a full-function reporting engine providing the more sophisticated user the ability to produce composite reports including both data and graphics, multi-level groupings and subtotals, bitmaps, and other multimedia objects. An easy to use, context sensitive toolbar and structure bars allow quick and easy formatting of detailed groupings, hierarchical structures, dynamic cross tabulations, and financial reporting layouts.
Additionally, through OLE2 and command-line interfaces, CorVu reports may be tightly integrated within an existing application. As with other CorVu features, such reports may also be scheduled for client or server execution and published on an Intranet or the Internet. |
 | CORSERVER
The CorServer leverages the power of UNIX and NT servers to enable the analysis of large volumes of data. It also brings the power of CorBusiness to the Web, enabling businesses to leverage their investments in Intranet, extranet and Internet technologies. From a Windows browser users can access, view and analyze queries and reports, perform OLAP analysis and interrogate business forecasts. |
