New Information Portal Makes Business Intelligence More Accessible
Proxim-IT™ brings business people and business intelligence one click closer together
Tampa, FL, May 31, 2007 – World class operations management firm USC Consulting Group, LLC, (USCCG) has developed a new business intelligence portal, Proxim-IT™. The portal’s name, pronounced “proximity,” stems from its ability to deliver business intelligence to within a few clicks of decision-makers, improving the way people, processes and decisions leverage enterprise-level data.
Unlike other portals, which simply aggregate and summarize data, Proxim-IT can revolutionize the way people, content, and processes interact within an organization, driving accountability, visibility, and decision making to new levels of enterprise maturity.
According to David Kane, USCCG Director, Client Technology Services, “As organizations become increasingly complex, their need for tools that centralize, summarize, synthesize, and drive automated workflows and processes increases materially. Proxim-IT provides what I call ‘relationship equilibrium,’ meaning that everyone in an enterprise has near real time visibility into corporate objectives, as well as the KPIs relative to their own particular role in achieving them. This drives teamwork, innovation and business productivity horizontally as well as vertically across any extended enterprise.”
Among its many applications, Proxim-IT allows its users to:
- personalize and configure their own dashboards, scorecards, metrics, objectives and Key Performance Indicators;
- store and organize line of business operational reports, documents, and content in one central web-based location;
- generate proactive alerts when data and documents are updated and when KPIs exceed pre-defined thresholds, driving proactive planning versus reactive firefighting;
- navigate via an organizational tree structure to find relevant information with drill down and drill up capability rolling up KPI’s to any level within the organization hierarchy;
- gain comprehensive control over the way enterprise knowledge is stored, searched, secured, distributed, visualized, summarized and delivered;
- define custom reporting policies to control access rights, retention period expiration actions and document-auditing settings; and
- provide a single location where employees and business partners can find information and resources, access corporate knowledge and leverage business insight relative to their program, department, project, or initiative.
The portal integrates with familiar applications like Microsoft Office System and is based on the Microsoft Office SharePoint® Server enterprise platform, which makes it easy to use. Proxim-IT’s extensible design also allows for custom configuration to meet unique business needs, while USCCG’s rapid deployment methodology accelerates the implementation process to achieve the best time to value.
“USC Consulting Group shows how well Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 serves as a single-view, enterprise-wide Lean operations dashboard,” says Ingo Heel, Industry Solutions Director, Lean Manufacturing, Microsoft Corporation. “USCCG’s unique combination of Lean manufacturing expertise and knowledge of Microsoft technologies allows them to provide unequalled value to customers who previously could not assess the impact of Lean throughout their organization. Now there is hope that manufacturers can actually sustain their Lean journey
