BI Modules – Exception Reporting and Business Intelligence Alerts

Reporting is important to every enterprise. Yet, it is sometimes difficult to filter through the mountains of data and find the exceptions and thresholds that will tell you how to manage your business today and in the future. Exception reporting allows users to define threshold points and monitor Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) and Key Performance Metrics, and receive alerts to notify them when exception conditions occur. Alerts enables management by exception and ensure that users will know when something critical occurs, thereby relieving them of the need to continuously monitor results or produce reports in hopes of finding a problem before it negatively impacts the business.

The ElegantJ BI exception reporting and business intelligence alert manager is simple, affordable and practical. It notifies decision makers immediately when a critical business event takes place, and shortens the delay between event and resolution. Users have the ability to set, modify and delete alerts based on specific thresholds.

Key Performance Indicator (KPI) reporting alerts can be set to notify the user, either when a key performance metric crosses a pre-defined threshold, or when specific events occur, and these alerts can be delivered via email, with an embedded link to relevant BI objects like dashboard, cross tab, graphs or reports. The alert feature of KPI and exception reporting allows users to set up simple and complex threshold points based on simple measurements or complex key performance indicators (KPIs) to prompt a response or action.

What if you could produce personalised, alerts and exception reports with ease and simplicity? Your end-users could operate in a self-serve environment, with minimal training and produce reports and automated alerts to meet their needs without waiting for the assistance of a programmer. Your users could automate publication and delivery of these alerts and, thereby improve productivity and ensuring that information reaches the right people at the right time.
