May 10-Leverage Advanced Analytics

May’s Educational Webinar – Leverage Advanced Analytics for Greater Insight and Better Performance

Today, businesses are more and more desperate for better insight with the ever-increasing amounts of available data. Theoretically, the better your insight into this data, the better your business will perform. The challenge is for an IT department to keep up with the onslaught.  Is there an easy way to manage and leverage this information? Yes.

If you attended last month’s free “Connect with Leaders” webinar, you’ll know that Cardwell (www.connectionsonline.net) has launched a new data analyzing technology called Connections Online PRO. Connections Online PRO takes the software’s original, award-winning communications piece and couples it with innovative analytics technology from new partner Birst (www.birst.com). This technology combination provides an organization with increased clarity in regards to enhancing business performance.

According to Cardwell’s President, Karla Norwood, Connections Online PRO allows your business to accomplish more without depending on overloaded IT departments for help. In addition, Connections Online’s PRO version is a SaaS model, so you buy only what you need.

There was a quick demo of the PRO version displaying how the automated business intelligence is faster and more affordable. From here the data transfers to an OLAP tool (online analytic processing), then gets displayed in an easy-to-read dashboard for a quick overview of an organization’s performance.

A bank or credit union, for instance, can view particular categories for performance readings:

·                Products

·                Members/Customers

·                Employees

·                Transactions

·                Transaction details

This data can be broken down into more detail in location and time:

·                Region

·                Branch

·                Year

·                Quarter

·                Type

·                Category

So why is there business intelligence in Connections Online now? Today’s business models are constantly changing, which require companies to develop new ways to make money. In addition, businesses have dropped expenses to bare bones due to the sagging economy. Now they’re asking themselves what’s left for profitability? As a result, businesses are doing more with less these days, so they need to analyze their data to make smart decisions – equaling better insight.

Retrieving and applying insight is harder than ever today. Businesses are changing. Data are exploding. Budgets are shrinking. Connections Online PRO addresses these issues, allowing you to better understand your business for enhanced performance.
