Entrinsik Expands Implementation Services to Offer KPI Development for Informer Dashboards

RALEIGH, NC, September 27, 2012 (Press-News.org) Entrinsik (http://www.entrinsik.com), developer of award-winning Informer reporting and business intelligence software (BI), has announced the expansion of their training and implementation services to offer Key Performance Indicator (KPI) consulting and development to customers using Informer Dashboards, allowing organizations to visualize real-time data from multiple sources on one screen to quickly identify actionable information and key trends.

In today's extremely dynamic business climate, organizations are required to do more with less. IT staffs are overloaded with projects and often do not have the time or resources to collaborate with users to develop meaningful KPI's. Entrinsik solves this problem by providing the following assistance:
* Identifying and interviewing key stakeholders;
* Analyzing business goals;
* Documenting KPI's and metrics;
* Developing reports to pull data related to KPI's and metrics;
* Developing dashboards.

KPI's are measurements of success toward a particular goal. For example, an organization may have a goal of increasing revenue by 10%. One KPI associated with this goal would be sales. KPI's are comprised of metrics, which are measurements taken to determine progress toward a goal. In this example, one metric would be year-to-date revenues, and another might be cost of goods sold. A dashboard graphically displays the metrics that, when viewed as a whole, represent the KPI.

Establishing solid KPIs can help organizations:
* Create a culture of accountability to metrics;
* Deliver a single version of the truth;
* Embrace data-driven decision making.

For tens of thousands of users around the world, Informer software provides real-time access to multiple databases including Oracle, SQL Server, MySQL, Access, DB2, Informix, U2 and others without the need for complex ETL processes, data warehousing, or data cubing. From an intuitive drag and drop web interface, Informer's self-service reporting capabilities enable business users to drill down into data elements in real-time, sort and group, build interactive dashboards and perform ad-hoc analysis without IT support. Informer is implemented in hours and is easy to install, configure and administer, delivering quick ROI and a low total cost of ownership.

"With so many different applications and databases used in multi-channel businesses these days, the challenge of accessing information can seem overwhelming to those who are making key business decisions to improve revenue and cut costs," said Sharon Shelton, VP Marketing at Entrinsik. "Working with our customers to develop the right KPIs for their business helps them to improve decision making through the greater use of more data-driven decision making."
