By delivering a single solution with full BI capabilities, SSA Global says that it is helping customers improve decision support for their overall operations through a streamlined implementation process and reduction in complexity for end-users. SSA BI has been integrated with SSA ERPLN and there are plans to integrate the solution with other SSA Global applications.
"As a strategic offering in the SSA Global corporate performance management solution, SSA BI meets the demands of customers for secure and timely delivery of actionable information to appropriate employees within the organisation and across the supply chain," says Jane Thomson, MD of Softworx. "SSA BI delivers functionality for improving decision-making so that customers can better align strategy and execution to reduce costs, increase revenue and ensure regulatory compliance."
Powered by Cognos BI and Planning tools, SSA BI is based on a single architecture, and features a centralised database for metadata designed to help to put data into a meaningful business context. To facilitate simplified implementation, SSA BI is Web-based and includes pre-defined integrations and content.
SSA BI is a core component of SSA Open Architecture, for the enablement of service-oriented architecture (SOA) from SSA Global. The SSA BI solution aims to enable the SSA Decision Services tier of SSA Open Architecture by delivering reporting capabilities so that decision-makers at all levels of an organisation have the flexibility to analyse specific business issues from multiple perspectives in order to identify and solve business problems.
