ReportNOW
MDS & OLAP
Viewer and Dynamic Digital Dashboards
The ReportNOW modules utilize the latest in Business Intelligence applications and technologies for spotting trends and analyzing history, providing a comprehensive knowledge of the factors affecting your business and supporting better decision making by administrators and managers.
Real-time Dashboards display both real-time and static components in the same presentation. Each report on the dashboard is updated as transactions occur, with user definable refresh rates, and can be programmed to trigger alerts to users. Individual reports and custom dashboards combining several reports at once are provided in each ReportNOW module. Additional views for each report (charts, maps, grids, gauges, forms, etc.) are available including complete drilldown to the most detailed level. Custom report design is provided as a part of PCS BIS, Business Intelligence Solutions. See example Procurement Module dashboard, on the right side, top.
ReportNOW can reside on the school district’s servers or data can be forwarded to PCS’ data center for nightly processing through MS Analytical Services, adding to data cubes providing instantaneous reporting via a built-in OLAP viewer. MDS, Multiple Data Sources are supported including spread sheets, SQL databases, Access databases, and more, opening up endless possibilities for combining data across systems and platforms anywhere in the district, including student information and financial systems.
