2 Developing issues, when ignored, turn into problems. Efficient planning is about analysing the trends of today and foreseeing the issues of tomorrow. We call this business intelligence. Ironically, it is not about the information you don t have; it is about finding the right meaning out of what is already there. Fix the problem of tomorrow, today. Find out how... The Problem In today s highly competitive and rapidly changing business environment, it is necessary for businesses to respond to change with speed and efficiency. Having access to the right information and data is imperative to make informed decisions. In the small and medium enterprises (SME) sector Information Technology remains largely unorganized and ad-hoc making access to information difficult. SMEs around the world, in their quest for better information, have tried migrating to large and costly ERP systems. Almost all of these organizations would acknowledge the cost and pain in the transformation exercise with some of them reporting complete failure of these large and complex ERP systems. Organizations which succeed in implementation face high costs of ownership due to support and training costs. The Solution SBOeCube can convert data into actionable insight with an integrated view of all your information through dashboards and analyses. Information cubes such as Sales, Purchase, Inventory, Production and Finance provide you with ready information for consumption based on predefined or ad-hoc analyses. Dashboard and charts enhance the readability of the information for executives who need a bird s eye view of business operations and performance. Information is readily exportable and can be distributed via and allow managers on the move to easily access data.

3 Analyses and insights The benefit of a business intelligence tool is that it empowers people to access accurate and up to date information for better decision making. Take for example a retail sales operation- they can analyse sales to get the top n items or groups and the growth in each of items or groups for user-defined time periods. Based on this information they can plan their sales strategy, inventory and replenishment levels to reduce costs and maximize profits. SBOeCube provides various standard analyses to help you to drive growth, efficiency, performance and as a result, profit. that which cannot be measured cannot be managed, and that which cannot be managed cannot be organizationally pursued! Jack Welch, Former CEO, General Electric Why SBOeCube? SBOeCube is a Business Intelligence Solution for SAP Business One. SBOeCube is based on the inmemory analysis technology as compared to the older OLAP technology used in similar systems. The main advantages of in-memory analysis over OLAP are as follows: Based on SQL Queries - no knowledge of OLAP and OLAP queries required. Queries are required to send only raw data - Grouping, summation, variation, custom fields, etc. managed in the front end. Eliminates the overhead of managing an OLAP server Reduces the server overhead distributes the computing needs between server and client Faster response to user commands since no round trips to server Reduces network overhead since commands are processed in memory
