Business Intelligence

CMiC Business Intelligence System (BI) integrates data from all of the CMiC applications to provide key performance measurements, operating alerts, and management reports to every decision maker across the enterprise. Information is organized by management area and accessible through a single customizable home page. mBIS provides key analysis across enterprise functional areas such as Finance, Projects, Procurement, Payroll, Human Resources, Asset Management, Opportunity and Delivery Management/Service.

CMiC Business Intelligence System, a new class of enterprise software, is an Internet ready performance management system which provides a framework for corporate performance management and continuous process improvement. By delivering timely and accurate information, BI enables managers to make better decisions, faster. CMiC Business Intelligence System is part of the CMiC Software, an integrated suite of business applications for the project based enterprise.

BI can seamlessly analyze the “back office“ and “front office” data provided by CMiC Software. This includes applications such as Financials, Projects, Personnel, Operations, and CRM applications supporting Sales, Service, Customer, and Marketing. Users can set targets to meet their strategic objectives, monitor performance in all areas of the company, receive notifications when performance is out of tolerance, and respond immediately by taking corrective actions.

CMiC Business Intelligence Strategy

Managers need information to run their businesses. Today's packaged applications provide data at the transactional level but do not provide a means of measuring business performance. As a result, management's traditional methods of gathering performance data are slow and often result in missed opportunities.

CMiC Business Intelligence System (BI) provides an entire framework for setting management goals, measuring company performance against targets, enabling root-cause analysis, collaborating directly with responsible managers, and responding in a timely manner.

Furthermore, BI takes an enterprise view of the data, so that not-so-obvious, cross-organizational issues may also be considered. Performance may be monitored via the manager's Personal Homepage where they can select key performance measures to monitor the organization's current performance or graph the organization's performance over time. To help managers better understand their business and the underlying causes of business performance, BI includes many ready-to-run intelligence reports and Discoverer analysis workbooks. mBIS also includes search engines that direct users to intelligence reports and analysis workbooks based on their business questions.

By allowing managers to proactively track, measure and analyze enterprise performance, BI provides a powerful corporate management tool for today's business demands.

CMiC applications lower your cost of deployment and operation because the software does not need to be loaded on each client and changes can be made centrally. The applications are accessed over the corporate intranet for internal transactions and over the public Internet.

BI is fully integrated with the CMiC Software and does not require the time and cost associated with implementing custom DSS. BI allows you to setup your DSS along with your ERP efforts, not after. Your time-to-benefit is immediate since users can start browsing ready-to-run analysis reports as soon as the mPOWER applications are installed. BI targets your entire user population through easy access to several levels of analysis. BI reporting provides transaction specific details as needed by all types of users. BI is also universally accessible to anyone with a web browser since the product is web-enabled.
