Flexible
and Secure Budgeting for Mid-size Organizations by
DataSelf
San Jose, CA,
September 27, 2007
– DataSelf Corporation, a publisher of business
intelligence solutions for the mid-market, has released its new
budgeting module
for the general market.
“This is for
mid-size firms who want flexibility,
security and automatic budgeting functions.” said DataSelf
CEO Joni Girardi. “We ‘slow-cooked’ this
solution,
and now it’s ready for prime time.”
The solution offers two
main ways to update and analyze
budgets: The first option is ProClarity, which provides a
self-contained,
user-friendly and secured interface. The second option is MS Excel,
which
provides a familiar framework to most mid-size companies.
Like every other DataSelf
Business Intelligence (BI)
application, the budgeting module makes work easy for managers of
mid-size
firms.
When planning for the
coming year, the module can automatically
start with annualized actuals from the current year. Year-over-year
adjustments
can be applied across-the-board and fine-tuned. For example, if a
manager
projects a 5% increase in sales or payroll, that percentage can be
filled in for
the whole year. The change will propagate to every period and
sub-account, then
can be fine-tuned. If payroll wouldn’t jump by the same
percentage in the
first quarter, the manager could use the same automatic function to
adjust
increases by quarter.
Budgets can also be
distributed to divisions, letting each
division’s managers see only their own figures.
The module is a solid
extension of the DataSelf Business
Intelligence solution into finance. DataSelf first developed the module
at the
request of one customer and later offered it to several others. Only
after
DataSelf was completely confident in it did the company integrate it
for general
distribution.
“We’ve
been helping mid-size companies with business
intelligence solutions for over 10 years,” says Joni Girardi,
CEO of DataSelf
Corporation. “We’ve learned a lot about how
mid-size firms budget--and
we’ve put our knowledge into this new module.”
The complete BI solution
comes with templates for over 500
reports and key performance indicators (KPIs) covering several business
areas of
mid-sized organizations. Managers set up reports out of the box and
adapt the
templates as needed. They can even build new reports from scratch
faster than it
takes to eat a donut. In fact, non-technical users of DataSelf BI find
they
complete from 70% to 100% of their reporting needs without help from
IT--and in
a fraction of the time required on competing platforms.
Thanks to the pre-defined
reports and KPIs, managers can
try out new metrics they may have only heard of before. Many DataSelf
BI clients
have seen an immediate return on their DataSelf BI investment just by
monitoring
trends revealed by these reports.
