Zap Business Intelligence 2011, Zap’s latest software development, adds a suite of BI capabilities to Microsoft Dynamics CRM. This allows users to better harness an already elite CRM product. The software gives users great insight into Dynamics CRM data by utilizing dashboards, Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), scorecards, reports, analyses, and alerts. Zap gives users the tools they need to sort through the wealth of information gained through a tool like CRM so they can make informed, effective business decisions.
Zap Business Intelligence 2011 allows users to see the big picture. When a user is sifting through large amounts of data without the proper tools, key information can be overlooked or misread; the misinterpretation of data can lead businesses to make damaging decisions. Zap Business Intelligence 2011 boils down multiple sets of data into one report, giving users the information they need in a timely manner. Using enhanced report features, users can model various “What-if” scenarios to better plan for the future. Zap Business Intelligence 2011 grants users the ability to rapidly absorb and understand integral data, allowing a company to run at a high level of efficiency. With this latest version, Zap users can now also share sliced reports with people not in the company network, such as customers.
Visualization is the centerpiece of Business Intelligence 2011’s value. At a glance, users can summarize data visually, and make informed decisions. Let’s examine Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) to understand how visualization makes Zap Business Intelligence 2011 such an advantageous tool. KPIs are individual metrics that measure performance against a target; your actual numbers are compared to your goal. You can also include indicators that measure growth or decline by comparing quarterly figures. Tools like KPIs are simple to use. You can drag and drop calculations and measurements and view them without having to go through the process of coding. KPIs can be seamlessly integrated into other tools such as dashboards and scorecards so you can better combine and compare information. They are easily customizable, allowing for flexible formatting and dynamic calculations. This is just one example of how Business Intelligence 2011 visualizations provide vital information in a time-efficient manner.
Business Intelligence 2011 integrates easily into today’s workplace. It is a single, integrated solution based on the Microsoft SQL Server platform. Utilizing zero footprint architecture (applications that require no end-user installation), it is designed to be quick and hassle-free in its deployment. A smooth deployment leads to a rapid return on investment (ROI) for your company. Business Intelligence 2011’s wizard-driven setup and configuration makes it easy to import customizations on an ongoing basis, even for entire xRM solutions. The software requires minimal maintenance, further contributing to its low total cost of ownership. It uses all-Microsoft technology, further reducing the skills and resources required to deploy it if your organization already utilizes Microsoft products. Analytics can be viewed using Outlook, exported to Excel, or integrated with SharePoint.
