CONTROL seamlessly integrates
data from disparate sources and allows self-service, secure,
real-time access to your financial and business performance
landscape. Reports, known as VIEWS in CONTROL,
are presented directly in Excel and can be both navigable
and updateable, depending upon the user’s security
profiles.
Four simple non-programming steps are required
to create a VIEW:
Once a VIEW is created, CONTROL
enables you to navigate through layers of data, slice, dice,
nest and graph and readily find out what is going on behind
the numbers for better, faster fact-based decisions. It
only takes a few clicks of the mouse to change dimensions,
dynamically report on any period at any level, compare budgets,
forecasts or both to actuals, assess dollar and percent
variances, or traverse from the highest level of detail
down to the lowest level of detail – all the way to
“the source” of an external application.
In seconds, the look and feel of a VIEW
(fonts, colors, lines, shading, headers, etc.) can be customized
by simply selecting from a library of shared Excel-based
style-sheet templates or by taking advantage of CONTROL’s
easy-to-use visual formatting capability.
Best of all, VIEWS are automatically published
to the Web and are immediately sharable with other users,
work groups or the entire organization. CONTROL
not only ensures that all security rules are rigidly enforced,
it also allows users to save their own preferences, such
as orientation, detail and formatting, for optimal user
experience.
CONTROL delivers accurate,
adaptable, efficient reporting functionality. It takes enterprise
reporting to unprecedented levels by allowing both report
producers and consumers to generate multiple ad hoc views
of targeted data —
efficiently and accurately —
in order to investigate and understand the
factors driving your business. CONTROL
fosters the continuous cross-organization collaboration,
proactive synchronization and high-value decision-making
that turn corporate goals into corporate achievement.
