Then, one can choose from custom formulas, advanced exceptions, slicing and filtering capabilities, MDX wizards, and many other options which allow to get to the point of data faster and more accurately.

What it results in is the fact that NovaView Analytics seems to be one of the most user-friendly products in the market.

With NovaView Analytics, IT departments involvement is almost completely superfluous. The fact that most of capabilities can be used by the business results in significant time to value acceleration.

NovaView Analytics features

Enabling the business to access and view data isn't anything special, all the solutions include such a capability. However, much more difficult it is to ensure that business recipients are provided with everything that could let them understand the data they accessed. Thank to guided analysis, a user is lead step by step through the whole analysis process and can get faster to the needed information. This feature helps in saving a lot of time which - otherwise - would have to be spent on searching the areas of data which the information one is looking for is not in, for instance.

Among different trends in organization management, the management by exception is considered one of the most efficient as its main benefit is an ability to save a lion's share of the time which - formerly - was being spend on pointless analytics tasks. In NovaView Analytics, the management by exception is performed with bubble-up notifications so that they can see the most significant changes automatically. Thank to immediate alerts, users don't need to perform time consuming and - in most of cases - pointless actions which apply to the whole of data. Bubble-up exceptions help them with focusing on what actually is important and - hereby - save a lot of time what - from obvious reasons - improve the management efficiency and performance.

Finally, a lot of today's vendors pay a lot of attention to multiple mobile capabilities. They offer special versions of their software for iPhones, iPads, smarthphones, so on and so forth, but that doesn't solve the problem of offline analytics needs. NovaView Analytics allows chosen users to work anywhere once the problem arise, they don't need to stay behind the network firewall for that.
