Power: Auto-Configuration

What makes DataSelf different? First – it automates and streamlines the time-consuming (and technically challenging) installation and configuration work that adds countless hours (and thousands of dollars) to the traditional BI implementation.
Supporting cloud-based, on-prem, or hybrid environments, DataSelf “accelerates the plumbing” for you, providing the fastest ROI of any analytics solution on the market today.

Ease: Do-It-Yourself Analytics

What happens when you need a new report or dashboard? Do you ask someone down in IT and then wait . . . and wait . . . and wait? That’s not acceptable.
With NLQ – “natural language query” – you can use a Google-search-like tool to request the precise information you need using nothing more than plain English requests. Need to see “this year’s monthly sales by salesperson”? Just ask NLQ, and – instantly – you have the results.

Speed: Insight Out-of-the-Box

Trial balance. Year-over-year sales variances by customer, product, or sales rep. Stock utilization. Cash flow analysis. DataSelf provides the most extensive library of out-of-the-box reports and dashboards – over 8,000 of them. And, DataSelf lets you easily take a report, copy it, and – in minutes – customize it in any way you want to turn it into the exact analytics needed by your business.

Power: Optimized Data Warehouse

Analytics rely on secure, efficient access to highly optimized data and DataSelf offers the most advanced data extraction, transfer, & load (“ETL”) tool on the market today, with its DataSelf ETL+™ patented technology. ETL+ not only simplifies report creation, it ensures the fastest retrieval of analytic data, with the average report running in seconds.

Ease: Intuitive Business Intelligence

DataSelf lets you choose which of the industry’s leading BI technologies – Tableau or Microsoft Power BI – you wish to use to drive the results from DataSelf Analytics. Rated as the top two BI engines by industry analysts, DataSelf’s inclusion of these technologies means that you’re not limited by a proprietary solution that may – or may not – be around two, three, or more years in the future.

Speed: Running in Under a Day

You don’t have the luxury to wait weeks or months to get an analytics solution into production. With DataSelf’s auto-configuration module (ETL+) and its extensive selection of pre-configured analytics, you’ll be able to start making more informed business decisions in hours. And — with over 17 years of experience in analytics and business intelligence software, DataSelf’s staff has the expertise to ensure that every implementation of its solution is a successful one.

DataSelf BI is comprised of three main components:

Server software extracts data from your ERP and other source databases and transforms it into clean and simple data structures—making it quick and easy for business people to generate reports.About 40% of DataSelf BI deployments require absolutely no server-side customization. In the remaining deployments, customization on the server-size components can be done quickly — usually in hours or days. The server software is usually deployed on the client’s local network environment. The server’s data can be refreshed on a schedule, manually or with triggers.

Client software uses intuitive and industry-standard tools for analyzing data. Users can report and analyze their data on desktop and notebook computers, over the web, via mobile devices and also receive reports and dashboards via email. These tools can retrieve data in real time, from scheduled refreshes or from offline and portable data repositories.

Pre-built templates save users valuable time and headaches of creating a BI solution from scratch — learning about data warehouse and OLAP best practices, building KPIs and reports. Data analysis is easy and even eye-opening with 8,000-plus reports and KPIs pre-mapped to several mid-market ERP and CRM packages. This rich solution provides a quick return on investment plus a solid, flexible foundation for further customization. A team of business analysts, BI experts and ERP experts would take more than a year to build an equivalent solution that DataSelf BI provides out-of-the-box.
