Symix Systems recently added a
Web-enabled business
intelligence application to its SyteLine enterprise suite for midsize
manufacturers of industrial products.
SyteLine Business Intelligence Web lets manufacturers deploy business
management data
throughout the company using an existing intranet.
“Business intelligence provides dynamic, graphical analysis
of key business indicators, such as product line growth rates and
manufacturing metrics,” said Daryll Wartluft, Symix VP and general manager
of the company’s SyteLine
Business Unit. “The ability to now deploy this type of critical business
management information to key operations and customer service professionals
allows companies to identify new opportunities within their business, then
execute immediately.”
Using SyteLine Business Intelligence Web, manufacturers can post data marts
or multidimensional views of key business drivers to their intranet sites. To
access the data, employees need only use their standard browsers and drill
down to the data which can be sorted and filtered to yield useful information.
“Most employees’ informational needs will be met with the
standard Web-deployed data marts,” said the company.
Also from the same vendor is SyteLine Web, a Web commerce application
that enables manufacturers to partner with their customers and suppliers over
the Internet. Further information about these and other Symix products is
available from the vendor’s Web site.
