Manage the solution without complex programming languages or scripting. No IT input is required.
Quickly explore data, evaluate models, test assumptions and compare current performance with historical actuals and external benchmarks, using drill-down and multidimensional cube slicing-and-dicing.
Enable greater participation, collaboration and contribution with user-friendly web browser and familiar Microsoft® Excel® interfaces.
