iMANY CARS BI
What does CARS BI do?
iMANY CARS Business Intelligence (BI) gives you information when you need it, in the format you need, within the business context you need it in to enable better evidence-based decisions. Delivering self-service purpose-built and ad-hoc operational and administrative reporting and analysis minimizes the time business users spend looking for information and IT spends responding to requests.
Why is CARS BI important?
With limited or inadequate visibility into contracting data driven by incomplete data warehousing initiatives or over-reliance on an already resource-constraint IT for reporting needs, manufacturers are unable to leverage the inherent value in all the information being captured and managed in their commercial and government contracting systems that can drive evidence-based decisions.
For whom is CARS BI designed?
iMANY CARS BI is designed for contract analysts and other business users of iMANY CARS for self-service query and reporting.
