Baan Company Announces Availability Of New Business Intelligence Suite For Comprehensive Enterprise Data Analysis And Navigation
Baan Company N.V., announced the availability of the Baan Business Intelligence Suite (BaanBIS). BaanBIS enables a company to consolidate data from multiple information sources, including Baan enterprise applications, legacy systems, and external data sources, to provide a single data warehouse environment for decision support and analysis. With the Business Intelligence Suite, Baan also announced the availability of pre-defined analytical business templates for the breadth of Baan enterprise business solutions.
Companies using BaanBIS benefit from a decision support environment that enables knowledge managers to make business decisions based on structured, supporting information. In addition, with the powerful hyper- relational data navigation capabilities of Baan Data Navigator, knowledge workers are empowered to relate analytical business information to transactional information. This capability provides a unique business environment -- the ability to analyze rolled up business information, with the power and flexibility to drill down to the individual business transactions.
"When locked in the information silos typically found across a company, data is virtually useless at an enterprise level," said Gianluca Tamagni, IT manager of MACAER, "But BaanBIS combines and links data from multiple sources, producing a model that reflects how the business is performing at the enterprise level. This data is then transformed into reliable information and can be utilized to make intelligent business decisions across the enterprise -- truly leveraging the power of enterprise business solutions. BaanBIS enables our organization to access and cross check information in a more sophisticated manner than ever before, helping us use this information to make decisions that affect every part of our business."
"BaanBIS is the doorway to our enterprise information, configurable to meet the required needs of our individual users. Whether the need is for simplified web access, information across enterprise applications, or predefined reports, the Baan Business Intelligence Suite framework is open and compatible to meet the demands of our users in seconds, providing detailed information in critical moments," said Claes Areskoug, information systems manager of ABB Transformers.
"With this Business Intelligence Suite, Baan has delivered on the highest level of analytical integration across its broad suite of enterprise applications," commented Dr. Katherine Jones, Senior Research Analyst at the Aberdeen Group. "With pre-defined templates for the various Baan products, BaanBIS provides tremendous value to Baan Customers who have implemented the extended enterprise solutions from Baan."
"Building on Baan's knowledge of enterprise business processes, and customer requirements for cross functional information access, BaanBIS provides a Decision Support solution that caters to the extended enterprise, is flexible to meet changing business and information needs, and can be implemented quickly," said Rohit Agarwal, Vice President of Strategic Marketing, Baan Company.
