Announcement posted by Hyperion Solutions 26 Feb 2004
Hyperion brings business performance management to the masses with the new Hyperion BI Platform
Hyperion (Nasdaq:HYSL), the leader in Business Performance Management software, today announced the debut of a new generation of software that makes dashboards even easier to use, deploy and personalise than ever before. Hyperion Performance Suite version 8.2, builds upon the softwares proven strengths in query and analysis, enterprise reporting and dashboarding, and delivers significant enhancements that dramatically reduce dashboard design and deployment time, and empowers users with easy to use reporting and dashboarding functionality.
"Dashboards are the shop windows to an overall corporate performance management strategy. They make the results of the planning and control cycle visible. However, they need a strong business intelligence basis for additional analysis," said Frank Buytendijk, research vice-president at Gartner, Inc.
The new Hyperion Performance Suite delivers an easy-to-use and easy-to-deploy, integrated set of dashboarding and reporting tools that enable customers to quickly and easily extract business intelligence from any data source and broadly distribute it to employees, customers and partners in highly visual and graphical view. Hyperions recent study shows that the Hyperion Performance Suite is currently being utilised in multiple departments throughout the enterprise, such as human resources, marketing, sales and manufacturing for analysing complex information in an easy-to- understand, graphical view.
Personalised Dashboards for Users and Reduced Deployment Complexities for IT
The Hyperion Performance Suite now delivers new capabilities to help extend dashboard use throughout the organisation, including:
The easiest-to-use dashboard creation tools on the market, giving customers the flexibility to create both detailed and analytic dashboards for executives, easy-to-use and highly customisable dashboards for employees, and intuitive dashboards for the extended enterprise
New drag-and-drop data modelling, data query and personalised dashboard development functionality enables users to create personalised, relevant content in their dashboard view, faster than ever
Tighter integration within the Performance Suite provides users with the ability to publish enterprise and ad-hoc end-user reports in an easy-to-consume view for a broad range of people throughout the enterprise.
Support for Red Hat Enterprise Linux offers customers an open standards, lower total cost of ownership business intelligence solution that delivers improved reliability, scalability and flexibility
Support for Web services delivers easier integration with corporate portals and the customisation of access to BI and BPM information
New view manager enables managers to update dashboards with specific content such as new metrics for tracking performance, and push the dashboard view out to workgroups
Toyota Motor Sales is testing Hyperion Performance Suite 8.2 for several business units, including one that processes all of our vehicle orders, said Mike Burkes, data technology manager for Toyota Motor Sales U.S.A. After eight weeks of extensive testing against the previous version baselines, we have quantified that 85% of our reports are running an average of 40% faster with some as high as 80% faster. With this latest release, which gives us the capability to run reports on the server with a true zero client footprint to the end user, our network load is reduced.
This directly translates to savings in infrastructure and support costs and significantly improves deployment across the WAN. This configuration will scale easily as our user population increases, and it will provide us with the added benefit of failover protection. We have successfully integrated the new version with our hybrid security authentication system to facilitate single sign-on and allow access to be managed across the enterprise. Bottom line, with the new Hyperion Performance Suite, we're expecting gains in scalability, failover management, reporting speed, and user accessibilityall of which will decrease our costs and result in a higher return on investment."
Providing powerful dashboards, the Hyperion Performance Suite enables the appropriate query, reporting and understanding of business information, and empowers employees to make optimal decisions that drive bottom-line results, reduce costs and increase shareholder value.
