era4You

Reporting raw data and performing in-depth analysis enable information consumers to seamlessly gain insights into their business using the existing information assets and drive breakthrough performance anywhere, anytime.

Built on advanced OLAP technology, the reporting and analysis module is the core of era4You™ suite. Available as a separate product too (see OLAP4You™), the OLAP engine provides powerful ad-hoc and scheduled reporting capabilities to generate meaningful information.

era4You™ was designed to deliver the most important capabilities needed by an effective enterprise reporting and analysis tool:

	Data source access anywhere within the enterprise: data can be seamlessly extracted from any database, flat files or application specific files
	Intuitive presentation of data: end-users are presented with business views of data they can easily understand and process, without knowing any technical details that lie beneath the friendly interface
	Data mining and cube analysis: era4You™ cubes enable users to easily navigate through data, apply functions and filters, and create computed columns to gain actionable insight into the relevant aspects of the business
	Rich formatting capabilities: the resulting reports can be formatted in presentation quality layout, while allowing users to seamlessly change and share the analyses
	Application scalability: reports, dashboards and analyses are deployable to a large number of users, without affecting performance or security

Following the business logic, era4You™ cubes are configured using "snow-flake" hierarchies for data presentation which allow users to group and filter data, transforming it into meaningful information. Exceptional performance and functionality are achieved through ad-hoc query and analysis capabilities, which empower the users to drill-down and up through data, slicing and dicing it to the desired level of detail.

As a concept, the user has to define his or her goals, in terms of what he or she wants to see, and how he or she wants to see it. era4You™ provides amazing possibilities of computing and displaying the information, featuring:

	Comprehensive mathematical and statistical functions;
	Multidimensional data analysis, drill down, slice and dice;
	Calculated columns to support "what if" scenarios.

Data can be grouped according to the criteria defined by the user, can be looked at from various angles, and can serve as basis for reports with different degrees of detail. The final reports can be formatted in a variety of ways, can be saved for later reference, and can be distributed to different groups.
