Query Manager Flexible, easy SAP HCM reporting Single-screen access to Queries and results Unmatched performance Versatile output formats Automatic result distribution Vibrant online community
Information is key Your organization has invested in SAP HCM, and every day your system has data added to it. Accessing that data quickly is a constant challenge: it s all there, but how do you get it out? Standard SAP HCM reports are usually not sufficient to meet all your reporting demands. The most common alternatives are developing custom ABAP reports, or extracting basic data from SAP for manipulation in a spreadsheet. This is timeconsuming and costly. To build or change a custom ABAP report, you have to create a functional specification, find a resource to develop the report, test it, and then move it into Production. If there are faults, the process has to be repeated, often several times. If your organization does not have ABAP resources readily available, you may struggle to find them at short notice or for short engagements. Costs are unpredictable. Besides, you need flexible reports that can adapt as your business evolves. You need to deliver what your business wants in real time. Query Manager Query Manager (QM), created by EPI-USE Labs, meets all your needs and more. It s a powerful, versatile product for easy reporting on all SAP HCM data. No programming skills are necessary and business users can either use delivered content straight away or build their own reports easily. The user interface is simple to use and incorporates our wealth of HCM domain knowledge. If you already have a Business Intelligence (BI) solution, you will find that QM complements and extends BI s offering. BI focuses on aggregated and summarised data, and is best for analysing trends and statistics, whilst QM focuses on operational and transactional data. So, for real-time reports, both day-to-day and once-off, QM is ideal.
