"With PresenceBPM, we can do exception reporting on the fly, automatically.

It’s like having my own personal assistant generating the relevant data for me, like a robot that never tires.”

Is there information locked away in your IT systems that could help you steer your business more effectively and give you an advantage over your competitors?

Does every employee in your company have exactly the right information at exactly the time they need it to excel at their work?

With PresenceBPM you can revolutionize the way you report on your data and empower your Executives and Management Team with the information they really need.

Historic Reporting:

Reporting on historic data is vital for the analysis of previous business performance. There are a variety of historic reporting tools on the market today and some modern applications even have their own reporting functionality built into them.

However, many of these tools only have limited integration functionality and can only report on certain types of data or, as is the case with many built-in reporting tools, only report on the data that is stored inside the application itself.

What if you want to combine and report on data from two, three or maybe more disparate data sources?

This type of reporting can be a laborious manual process that requires extraction of data from the different data sources in question, then the data may need to be manipulated and mapped by hand before being imported into a spreadsheet or database and formatted into the final article to be emailed out or printed.

As well as being a time consuming job for someone, what if the person who creates your reports is taken sick or leaves their position at short notice?

Is the entire process written down somewhere safe or does it only exist in his or her head?

Who else knows where all the correct data is and how to put the report together?

PresenceBPM takes business reporting to a whole new level because it can access ALL of your data sources with ease and entirely automate a majority of reporting processes.

With PresenceBPM you can develop Tasks that automatically extract data from any combination of your data sources, combine it, perform complex calculations on it, format it into a graphical reports and then even distribute the reports via email, fax, web page or even SMS.

For example, you could quickly create a reporting task in PresenceBPM that automatically extracts data from three different sources, manipulates it, formats it and then distributes the report as a .pdf file via email to five managers at 8.45 every Monday morning.

The Task would only take a few minutes to build and now PresenceBPM will generate this report and deliver this information to the right people at the right time every Monday morning - guaranteed!

Can you see how useful this could be?

You never have to worry about creating that report again!

Automating your historic reporting processes with PresenceBPM not only saves time and resources, it also gives you peace of mind and guarantees that your executives will always have the information they need on time.

With PresenceBPM, the ease with which you can improve and automate your reporting processes is astounding.

However, reporting on your historic data is all good and well, but lets face it, it is a little '1990's'!

These days, if you want to gain a real competitive advantage in your sector, you need to be able to see your key business data in real-time!

Harnessing the power of Real-time Reporting

Being able to see your important business data in real-time enables your executives to respond more quickly and make better business decisions.

Rather than simply reacting to information historically, real-time information allows you take proactive action and steer your business more effectively.

With PresenceBPM you can create stunning web-based digital dashboards that display your data in real-time, in exactly the format you need and without effecting the performance of your existing IT resources.

The example below shows an interactive healthcare dashboard developed in PresenceBPM, which clearly displays a combination of useful information from several different IT systems within a hospital.

One very interesting feature of this dashboard is the powerful interactivity it has built into it.

As well as being able to drill down into the graphs and tables to see more detailed information, this dashboard also allows users to trigger entire business processes with the click of a mouse.

On this dashboard stock levels are being monitored in several store rooms around a building and are being displayed in the table at the bottom of the screen. If the level of any stock item falls below a predefined level, it is instantly highlighted on the dashboard in the form of an alert on the screen.

The dashboard User can then simply click a button on the dashboard to trigger a Stock Reordering process which automatically generates a completed purchase order and sends it to purchasing to be signed off.

This idea of 'monitoring and alerting' on your data can be another powerful way to improve your businesses processes and takes us nicely onto the next area we are going to look at -Business Activity Monitoring or BAM
