Guide+ for Business Performance Management
Balancing scorecards Benchmarking your business Monitoring the executive dashboard The best management consultants in the world are talking about Business Performance Management improving your business results with scorecards, benchmarks and dashboards. What they don't tell you, though, is where to get these nifty executive dashboards to track all those carefully benchmarked results and balance your corporate scorecard. Why? Because until now, these applications were extremely difficult and expensive to create. It typically took months of tedious custom programming, requiring programmers expert in each of the many different applications and computer systems found in most companies today. And then, once the massive systems needed to drive them were built, the cost of maintaining them totaled as much as 80% of IS programming budgets. That was before Guide+.Net from Cornus. Much of business reporting is done by spreadsheet. This is because spreadsheets have the flexibility to bring together data from many sources and present it in many different ways. This flexibility goes far beyond the capabilities of traditional reporting products. The limitation of spreadsheets is that they require manual gathering and entry of data, making them time consuming to produce and subject to error. Further, if a spreadsheet report raises a question, another report usually needs to be manually produced. Information is often not fresh and digging down to get answers is slow and tedious. Guide+.Net solves this by providing instantaneous access to information for highly effective Business Performance Management. The minute that corporate files are updated, the information is shown on Guide+.Net screens in rich spreadsheet-like report objects that display corporate data along with Internet information. Data is gathered dynamically from an unlimited number of different sources and displayed to give comprehensive views of performance all in one place. If the information raises a question, a manager clicks an area of the screen that is of interest and an array of other report screen choices is presented. The data in subsequent screens is linked to the originating screen so that drilling down through many levels of detail is fast, simple and completely intuitive. Even better, Guide+.Net allows decision-makers to jump to prior time periods. They can view the same reports for those periods and drill down through any number of additional report screens - even if those reports had never been produced before. It's like stepping into a time machine. This powerful data navigation supports the most demanding corporate fiscal year schemes, including thirteen period and 445 variations. With Guide+.Net all of this is set up without writing a single line of code, HTML, SQL or macro. Never was so much reporting power so quick and easy to implement. Guide+.Net delivers instant access to key metrics, and the detail behind them, to provide state-of-the-art BPM reporting.
