Business Intelligence Tool
The speed of business today means that large volumes of data is hidden away in disparate databases, spreadsheets and locations, impossible for business users to access and tedious for IT to translate into intuitive visual presentations. This is a challenge that faces all decision makers, from the analyst to the CEO. Flynet Xcelsius Server changes all this, facilitating data transparency, offering the only solution that enables business users to access real-time company data from multiple company databases, create business dashboards and presentations, and share the results “live” via Microsoft Office, corporate portals, Crystal Reports® 2008, Adobe PDF, AIR, and the Web.
All of the usual benefits of Xcelsius are included, the ability to engage and persuade your audience with visually stunning, interactive business dashboards. But it’s the addition of Flynet's Designer for Web Services that makes the Flynet Xcelsius Server a step change in the evolution of business management.
