Business has its challenges. Your software doesn't have to be one of them.
Phoenix, AZ - August 7, 2007 - The Media Services Group (MSGL) has finalized a partnership agreement with On Demand Analysis (ODA), a Portland-based Business Intelligence (BI) software developer, to embed their BI applications into the Élan™ Framework, MSGL's flagship software platform. The new Élan Analysis and Reporting tools, which are currently in development, will be provided as an integrated part of all Élan installations, including both new deployments and upgrades.
"The ODA product is a great compliment to our application suite," explained Jeff Shine, President and CEO of The Media Services Group. "It provides a cost-effective and pre-packaged alternative to other more complicated and expensive BI systems. It is truly a remarkable piece of software that holds enormous potential for our customers."
The new product will provide an interactive interface to the Élan database using Microsoft Excel as the front-end, with extended drill-down, pivot and comparison capabilities. The basic system will provide a standardized decision support tool, with a number of analysis workbooks, or datasets, for each Élan system module that can be accessed by anyone within the organization, with proper permissions. Additional options will be offered for customizable dashboards, scorecards and charting as well as a full suite of administration tools.
