Data PA

Due to the complexity of MFG/PRO technology and data structures existing BI solutions available for MFG/PRO often cannot meet all the customer's needs. DataPA's design and focus on Progress technology means it can meet all these requirements and more. DataPA has already been chosen ahead of some of the largest selling BI solutions in the MFG/PRO market, and customers who have recently invested in DataPA include Kinnerton Confectionery, Twinings, Boots and Jordans Cereals. DataPA provides MFG/PRO customers with the following real benefits:

• Increased productivity of end users - DataPA makes it much easier and faster for end users to create their own reports and queries regardless of the complexity of the underlying databases increasing user productivity.
  
• New capabilities and enhanced productivity for IT departments - The key productivity gain for IT departments comes from the dramatic reduction in demand for new reports and queries from end users. Additional productivity gains come from the ability to reuse existing business logic from the underlying application both in the initial set up and in resolving very complex reporting issues.
  
• DataPA leverages existing end user skills - As well as using DataPA's own presentation tool, uniquely, users can retrieve, share and analyse data from within a host of familiar desktop applications. This means critical business information is not only uniquely accessible to users, but they can work with that information in familiar environments thereby increasing their productivity with minimal requirement for further training.
  
• Report directly from the live database - DataPA's unique Progress AppServer based reporting architecture means queries are processed on the server and only the data required is transferred to the client resulting in faster queries. Using the AppServer also means the number of query requests can be managed protecting the MFG/PRO application from any performance meaning users can safely run queries directly on the live database.
  
• Rapid & cost effective deployment - DataPA can make use of familiar tools both on the server side and client to minimise the level of training required for IT staff and end users. Even the least experienced end-user can become effective with around four hours training. DataPA's unique architecture delivers enhanced performance from existing hardware and software investments thereby minimising the need for further IT spend.
