San Ramon,
CA – October 11, 2005 – Relevant
Business Systems, an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software
provider to leading Aerospace & Defense, Engineer-to-Order and
other project-based firms, announced today that it will rollout
the Business Wizard, a new vertical software tool designed to deliver
the power of real time interactive business intelligence (BI) to
manufacturing environments. The Business Wizard’s user-defined,
interactive data views couple with sophisticated predictive capabilities
to enable:
- Smarter, streamlined business execution
- Early warning of issues before they
become costly crises
- Improved business results through real-time,
functionally driven business intelligence.
The Business Wizard is a multi-functional management
dashboard and business intelligence tool that allows users to create
consolidated, tailored views of the data their job function requires,
using pre-existing templates, or by creating totally custom views.
The Business Wizard assembles what (and only what) each user identifies
as critical data for his/her job function, pulls that information
from disparate databases in the ERP or other systems, and presents
it on one screen, in real time.
But, the Business Wizard is more than a sophisticated,
customizable dashboard. Business Wizard users can easily analyze
and directly act on the information presented, as well as executing
ancillary activities (such as emailing or executing a purchase order)
without leaving the Business Wizard interface. In beta implementations,
clients using Business Wizard views reduced the time and steps required
to acquire or retrieve, analyze, and act on critical information
by +30%.
To the Business Wizard’s basic engine, Relevant
has built in a predictive analytics capability. Sophisticated analytics
detect patterns and attributes in a company’s transactions
history and enable finely tuned prediction of future performance,
at the behest of functional personnel, not corporate statisticians.
The Business Wizard accomplishes this without separate data input
and without running software isolated from the firm’s underlying
technology structure. Pulling information directly from on-going
operations, the Business Wizard constantly feeds its predictive
analytics capability real-time information, so that it is continually
tracking and reanalyzing performance on an on-going basis. Unlike
most BI tools, the Business Wizard’s self-serve, end-user
driven templates harness and encapsulate the domain expertise of
both the user and the underlying manufacturing system.
John McDaniel, Materials Manager for TriContinent
Scientific, part of Hitachi Chemical Company and one of the Business
Wizard’s beta sites, states of the Business Wizard, “It
quickly became the first program we opened up in the morning and
the one that remained on our desktop all day long. The Business
Wizard’s customizable panel views show users everything they
need to know to get their jobs done, on one screen.”
The Business Wizard is database independent and
can be used throughout an enterprise or on a single desktop.
