Key
Features:
Executive Dashboard Views
Give Real-Time Views of Business Processes and Services
Visionary’s dashboard
views give managers real-time visibility of their business processes,
services and activities.
With Visionary’s easy drag-and-drop feature new executive dashboard
views can be built from scratch easily and without any programming.
Visionary aggregates and transforms information from a variety of
sources, then delivers the information in a variety of interactive
reports and graphs that blend seamlessly into existing dashboards and
portals.
Using Visionary’s unlimited drill down feature, managers can drill-down
into reports and graphs to discover why key performance indicators have
changed. Visionary-powered dashboards reveal how managers can remedy
bottlenecks, improve throughput, allocate scarce resources, make
personnel decisions, and take advantage of their opportunities.
Customized Reports
Visionary
lets you generate powerful web-based reports that provide multiple
views of consolidated and aggregated information regarding your
business processes, services or activities. With Visionary’s easy
drag-and-drop capability, you can quickly build powerful reports by
creating ad-hoc queries to multiple data sources and displaying the
information in a variety of two dimensional and three dimensional
graphics widgets such as bar graphs, pie-charts, tabular views and so
on.
Each
graphics object is an “active” entity allowing you to click on the
object and drill down to obtain additional information. Unlike other
reporting tools that only provide static information, with Visionary,
you can even perform what-if analysis on the data by varying parameters
using slide bars and other graphics mechanisms to generate new
scenarios.
Reports
can be generated and automatically distributed via email to users at
scheduled times or whenever an alert condition such as a threshold
violation occurs.
Open-ended Database
Connectivity
Visionary's
new Java World Server provides support for all JDBC compliant databases
and data sources. It can be deployed in a 3-tier environment on Unix,
Linux and Microsoft Windows, and supports the major e-business servers,
including: iPlanet Web Server, Apache HTTP
Server with Tomcat, IBM WebSphere
Application Server, and Oracle Application Server.
Visionary
end users -- whether executive decision-makers or hands-on knowledge
workers -- can now visualize data in Visionary 'Worlds' that
automatically draw data from diverse information sources, seamlessly -
no matter where data sources are located across the enterprise.
Customizable Graphics
Template Library
Visionary
has powerful graphics template libraries for charts, maps, hierarchies,
patterns and forms: With support for animated GIF graphics; twenty-two
new 2-D and 3-D layouts; new ActiveX controls, including 3-D text, 3-D
clock and a 3-D legend; and 'Execute script' (VBScript and JavaScript)
event action for 3-D charts and controls.
Benefits:
- Enables faster,
more-effective decisions. Visionary’s sophisticated visualizations
allow executives to understand and respond to data much more quickly
than with traditional reports. Users can zoom in on charts and graphs
to see details or they can use dynamic, hyperlink-like wormholes to
jump immediately to additional data displays.
- Simplifies data gathering
and analysis. Visionary wizards allow domain experts to rapidly build
no-code queries to access and visualize data without knowing SQL. As
users navigate through a Visionary world, new queries are dynamically
executed, providing “detail on demand.”
- Increases productivity.
With Visionary’s highly intuitive graphical layout and its
drag-and-drop authoring environment, graphical applications that once
took months to deploy can instead take weeks—or even days. With
Visionary, time formerly wasted sifting through data can be devoted to
using that information to improve business processes. Using Visionary,
IT departments can accomplish far more with fewer staff. Since
Visionary is easy to learn and deploy, even inexperienced programmers
can tackle complex tasks and produce highly effective enterprise
reporting and analysis applications.
- Reduces Costs. Visionary
reduces maintenance time and costs because solutions are easy to build,
modify and maintain.
