Express Analytics: Shaping Thought

Corporate Reporting and Analysis

Services

Now more than ever, decision makers across corporations need accurate, reliable, timely, and accessible business information. In the age of Sarbanes-Oxley, executives in particular have some responsibilities, namely:

Ensuring that operational and financial results are accurate
Fulfill the diverse querying and reporting needs of the organization
Communicate results efficiently by using interactive media like Internet/Intranet Web-portals (Other forms of reporting are often non-intuitive, linear and unable to meet real-time information needs)

Employees, regulators, stakeholders, and other information consumers need access to concrete and specific information. This requires processing large volumes of information in a timely and cost-efficient manner. The Internet is used to collect and disseminate business information. However, the data residing in various databases like ERP/CRM databases cannot be shared easily. In order to gather information from disparate sources, one needs to:

manually gather and consolidate information
search and select data from varied data sources
"cut and paste" or re-key into Excel or other Word processing software

Mergers, re-organization and acquisitions cause reorganized systems to become incompatible. Utilization of a common data warehouse ensures consistency, predictability and reliability of information. Associated costs and error risks decline considerably. Express Analytics simplifies corporate reporting and analysis on all the dimensions by developing a robust, scalable architecture for independent reporting and analysis. Below are some of the benefits we can offer as part of our enterprise reporting and analysis solution:
