Datatel Reporting and Operating Analytics

_{powered by Business Objects}

Datatel Reporting and Operating Analytics is a combination of two vital reporting elements: ad-hoc reporting and operating dashboards. The ad-hoc reporting tool has simple drag and drop functionality to build, customize, and modify reports and report templates delivered by Datatel. Datatel Dashboards answer critical questions important to the institution’s management team.  Datatel Reporting and Operating Analytics also includes Datatel’s data marts and a series of pre-written, ad-hoc reports spanning all system areas and offices at the institution.

Monitor Your Institution’s Performance with Datatel Dashboards

Executives and managers are demanding critical information in a format that allows them to quickly assess performance and identify areas for action. Datatel Dashboards provide real-time information that can lead to detailed analysis in the drill down view, displaying essential business factors such as course cost and revenue/expenses comparing this year to last, and ensure that this information is available to the right people, at the right time. Imagine holding your next cabinet meeting, powered by Datatel Dashboards.

Finding the Intelligence in Your Data

Datatel’s Reporting and Operating Analytics solution offers a single, Web-based platform for enterprise reporting, query and analysis, performance management, and data integration. Information can be consolidated from disparate sources across the organization and easily accessed for operational reporting, ad-hoc query, or interactive analysis. The information can then be used to study processes and formulate intelligent business decisions – from structuring the most effective recruiting methods, to building successful fundraising campaigns. It also provides easy-to-use tools for securing data and publication and subscription services for authorized users.

Datatel has evaluated all the industry-leading reporting solutions and chosen Business Objects – the leader in ad-hoc reporting functionality – to power our solution. Using Business Objects, Datatel can deliver easy-to-use universes and formatted reports in a way that no other industry-standard tool would allow. We can and will continue to build on these universes and reports as new functionality is developed in Colleague, thus growing the value of your investment.

Powered by Business Objects

Datatel’s Business Objects platform delivers the powerful query and analysis of Web Intelligence. Datatel has extended the value of Web Intelligence with pre-defined report templates specific to key business areas. Users can also tap the power of the pervasive, industry-standard reporting of Crystal Reports, OLAP, robust performance management capabilities, and data integration.

For example, with the Recruitment Profile report you can quickly access the breakdown of applications and their stages in the funnel, and slice and dice analysis characteristics to make decisions about where to focus resources.

And with the Source By Designation report you can analyze the breakdown of donors and dollar amounts by designation, compare the most popular contribution designations by source, and drill down to contribution detail by designation.
