Your employees don't make decisions as individuals. More often than not, the key decisions that drive your business are made by teams of people. So why is it that BI software forces users to report and act as individuals?
With Context! that is no longer the case. Users can comment on reports and have full dialogs - regardless of their physical location. Collaborative reporting is also possible since Context! lets users control who has access to their reports and how they can edit them - giving them the power to make reports completely personal - or public.
Using a business intelligence system has to be intuitive and useful. But how do you know when something critical is about to happen? With Context! you can let the system worry about it and send the report to you. With our broadcast and subscribe feature you can easily send reports via e-mail or FTP to individual users or groups based on a set interval - or based on conditional triggers, letting you, for example, broadcast a sales report only if sales are above 80% of quota in a given month.
Context! lets you leverage your investment in software portals like SharePoint by letting you easily publish any report outside of Context! using an intuitive web-services API, giving you the power to publish reports in the systems your users use every day.
Enabling self-service reporting is great, but how do you control report proliferation? How do you prevent users from publishing too many reports? With Context! you can set up a report authorization framework that lets you quickly and easily control report publishing. Users create reports and publish them - but the reports are not "exposed" to the larger BI community until another - authorized - user has "approved" the report. Finally your BI system can mirror the decision hierarchy of your organization.
