from DSSResources.comHyperion drives unique dashboard solution for PHH ArvalSANTA CLARA, Calif., Jan. 31, 2006 -- Hyperion (Nasdaq:HYSL), the global leader in Business Performance Management software, today announced that PHH Arval, the second largest commercial fleet management company in North America, has developed a Hyperion-based dashboard that radically simplifies fleet management reporting for its clients. Delivering a competitive advantage for PHH Arval, the dashboard summarizes information from a comprehensive data warehouse and presents it in clear charts and graphs. Fleet managers and other key executives can view complex fleet data quickly and easily, facilitating enhanced decision making. Using Hyperion's comprehensive dashboard and management reporting solution, PHH Arval has developed a secure, web-delivered business intelligence system that gives its thousands of corporate clients the ability to monitor key performance indicators and fleet trends, using up-to-the-minute information and up to three years of historical information. PHH InterActive(R) Dashboard helps identify cost drivers, trends and incidents in the fleets that require action or that impact business plans and budgets. The dashboard provides information about billing, inventory, fuel purchases, vehicle orders and deliveries, as well as multiple views of used vehicle sales performance and trends. "PHH InterActive Dashboard is a competitive differentiator for PHH Arval. Client satisfaction has improved due to the quality and immediacy of fleet reporting," said Tim Talbot, CIO at PHH Arval. "No one else can offer this capability. Clients love the ability view summary dashboards -- they have the information they need, when and how they need it. And, because the dashboard simplifies reporting and analysis, we estimate the solution will save our clients up to 24 hours per month in downloading, summarizing and analyzing fleet data." About Dashboards Personalized, adaptive, graphical displays of tactical metrics, Dashboards provide executives and key decision makers with a relevant overview of drillable data, with immediate clarity on the state of the business. The interactive user interface is designed to deliver user-specific information relating to the health of businesses, typically represented by key performance indicators (KPIs) and links to relevant reports. Visual cues, graphs and process controls focus user attention on important trends, changes and exceptions. Providing a unified point of view for financial reports and operational trends connected with KPIs, dashboards make it possible for managers to adjust operating activities to minimize the impact of performance and quality versus plans and forecasts. "The Hyperion-based solution makes it possible for PHH Arval to offer a unique extranet application that provides valuable information to its customers without subjecting them to information overload," said Rich Clayton, vice president of product marketing for Hyperion. "The quality and the immediacy of the fleet reporting they can now provide, as well as the ability for clients to view summary dashboards and extract information that can be sliced and diced to accommodate their individual needs, provides a real marketplace advantage." Hyperion partner 1Answer also played a role in this implementation. About Hyperion Hyperion Solutions Corporation is the global leader in Business Performance Management software.
