Analysis
Reporting allows you to measure the performance of your organisation and detect the gaps against your budgets, forecasts and expectations.
It is with analysis that you will determine the cause of these gaps. Dynamic and visual analysis tools allow you to analyse the data using a dimensional model.
This dimensional model gives you access to the detailed figures using any known entity (e.g. Department, Product Class, Customer Area, Project, Machine, Engineer, …) as a starting point.
