Knowing the answers to these types of questions are
essential to the success of your business. But the answers
remain locked away in the raw data collected in your
operational systems and in scattered Excel files. Even if
you could readily access all the relevant data and organize
it into meaningful views, the related non-quantitative
information and critical knowledge possessed by your
employees would remain dispersed in e-mails and
documents and be forever disconnected from the
numbers.

solution that allows you to explore, view, and collaborate
around your key operational metrics. It will help you to

views, add comments to charts, attach related
documents, and engage in discussions around the data.
