from DSSResources.comiQ4bis launches Analysis v4.2 interactive analytical softwareIRVINE, Calif., May. 27, 2008 -– iQ4bis Software Incorporated, a global, software provider that offers an end-to-end business intelligence solution for decision makers in midmarket enterprises, today announced the official release of iQ4bis Analysis 4.2, the newest upgrade to its easy-to-use analytical interface. The new release features new reporting functionality as well as a beta version of iQ4bis Analysis Portal, a multi-view dashboard that enables business users to group multiple reporting views in a single window. iQ4bis Analysis 4.2 provides single-click report output to multiple formats including Adobe® Acrobat PDF, Microsoft® Excel, and Web Archive (html) among others. The iQ4bis Analysis interface acts as the report generator in which users can define output based on the configuration of their views. “We realized that business users required a much more robust reporting capability to complement the intuitive iQ4bis Analysis interface,” said Siegfried Plommer, general manager and chief operations officer for iQ4bis. “By slicing, drilling down or up, sorting and changing the various dimensions and measures in Analysis, users now have the ability to select from multiple formats, and can define the output of the report in an interface they are familiar with.” iQ4bis Analysis 4.2 also includes a beta version of iQ4bis Analysis Portal, providing business users with detailed business information from multiple data sources in a single window. With easy and intuitive navigation, iQ4bis Analysis Portal lets the user view data from multiple core areas of the company, such as revenue, sales or supply chain, plus any website or company intranet, in real time at a single glance. Executives have an overview in seconds rather than hours of the key information needed to make accurate decisions regarding their business. “iQ4bis Analysis Portal starts with a birds-eye view of multiple areas of the business, and by clicking on the relevant information, the user can manipulate and sort the information to reveal more detail about their problem areas,” said Plommer. ”Users can view large amounts of statistics and information in a minimum amount of screen space and use visually-based presentations of business metrics to make better management decisions. It’s more interactive, intuitive and offers a quick, high-level perspective in one highly-condensed, simple view.” iQ4bis Analysis 4.2 also features new themes, charting enhancements, direct email options and improved online help support. Current users will receive iQ4bis Analysis 4.2 under their current maintenance plan.
