Overview

When it comes to data mining and multi-dimensional analysis, an advanced and feature complete analysis tool provides business users unrivaled insights into daily operations. However, today’s typical analytical process involves retrieval of data that resides in different databases, (even different database architectures, e.g. MS Access/Excel/Text, MS SQL Server, Oracle, etc.), joining the disparate datasets into one consolidated data set using another out of process tool, to finally performing the desired analysis. This process, when performed by the average user, lends itself to inaccurate and/or missed analysis of important data pictures, and quickly becomes the domain of specially trained database administrators and analysts.

Plato Analysis was engineered from the ground-up to eliminate the limitations posed not just by these out-of-process solutions, but to radically improve the way in which data-centric applications deliver information to end-users. With its powerful data architecture, Plato Analysis is able to slice and dice information efficiently and provide customers with an extremely intuitive end-user experience. It delivers numerous layout customization options with total end-user control over each individual on-screen report. Regardless of the perspective, data can be rendered to answer business questions - and best of all - it allows you to focus on business rules rather than creating dozens and dozens of reports.
