Penta’s New Business Analytics Application Bridges the Gap Between Enterprise Data and Business Results
Milwaukee, WI – February 8, 2007 - PENTA Business Analytics is an enterprise software solution designed to provide construction and engineering companies with the ability to access, consolidate and convert data into meaningful, actionable information throughout their business. PENTA Business Analytics delivers current data in a manner that’s easy to access, understand and manipulate, resulting in the visibility necessary for quicker, more confident decision-making.
Mid-sized to large contractors are increasingly looking for ways to identify trends which affect their business early on. PENTA Business Analytics addresses this need by making analytics and reporting available to business users across the organization on a daily or even more frequent basis. By tying the analytics business users are delivered to key performance indicators, contractors will be empowered to measure, manage and improve business performance.
“Large construction and engineering firms need easy ways to access and analyze the data residing in their enterprise systems, explained Karl Koenig, Penta President. With PENTA Business Analytics, contractors can maximize their enterprise system investment by making static information into useful information.”
Enterprise system report generation and modification duties typically fall to already-overburdened IT staffers. Contractors can now reverse this resource drain with pre-built data cubes delivered right to the end user. “When report writing and modification duties are placed on IT staff, it sets back the entire organization, said Harvey Shovers, Vice President of Sales and Marketing. By providing business users the ability to manipulate their own analytics, PENTA Business Analytics frees up the business and IT groups for more strategic priorities.”
Penta is seeing strong demand for Business Analytics from contractors. “Competition is causing contractors to make more useful and accurate analytics and reporting a top priority. We’re finding that our new customers are increasingly adopting PENTA Business Analytics,” says Harvey Shovers. The reasons for this vary from the most basic need of being able to more closely track and report on financial information, to raising awareness of trends identified through measurement of key performance indicators.
In addition to common reporting capabilities such as report writing, PENTA Business Analytics also provides a series of features suited for enterprises, including drill-to-detail capability, user-specific dashboards, OLAP graphing and analysis, offline access and automated redistribution.
