How is Cerebiz on-demand different or better than our existing report writer?
Report writers present a ‘fixed view’ on the data that they are used to report on. This means many reports may be needed to present the different views on the data required to manage the business better. Cerebiz on-demand is much more than a report writer in that it represents all the MYOB data in a multi-dimensional ‘cube’ that enables any view of the data to be ‘rolled over’ and looked at from different perspectives. This is also known as “Slicing and dicing” and ‘drill down’ and as it is interactive, it provides the user with the immediate ability to pull up data to support better understanding and better decision making. For example in static report (using standard report writers) you will be able to see product sales by monthly, by quarterly, by half yearly, by yearly comparison with your respective budgets and variances for the period. In Cerebiz on-demand multidimensional cubes, you will be able to see for example same information by region, by customer, by sales person etc. jus
