ÜBER UNS
Planungs- und Analysesysteme für Power BI und SQL Server
Acterys wurde 2015 von Martin Kratky und Dr. Hesam Ziaei gegründet. Nach mehr als 20 Jahren der Implementierung von Analyse- und Planungslösungen mit fast allen wichtigen Technologien erkannten sie die Möglichkeiten, die sich durch die Bereitstellung einer einheitlichen Plattform ergeben:
Eine einzige Datenplattform
Wir haben erkannt, dass der traditionelle Ansatz, Data Warehousing, Planung und Reporting in verschiedene Silos aufzuteilen, die alle unterschiedliche Datenspeicher nutzen und einen immensen Aufwand für die jeweilige Pflege und das „Herumschieben“ von Daten erfordern, nicht mehr praktikabel ist.
Vorteile der Cloud
Bevor wir mit Acterys begannen, wurden die meisten Analyse-/Planungsprojekte vor Ort implementiert, was langwierige Installationen, qualifizierte Experten vor Ort und umfangreiche Wartungsarbeiten erforderte. Unser Ziel mit Acterys war es, den Anwendern eine möglichst fertige Umgebung zur Verfügung zu stellen, die innerhalb weniger Minuten automatisch optimale Datenmodelle, Berichte und Planungsfunktionen erstellt.
Analytik und Planung in einem
Seit 2015 haben wir den unaufhaltsamen Aufstieg von Self-Service-Analyselösungen wie Power BI erlebt. Diese Lösungen bieten unvergleichliche Analysemöglichkeiten, aber es fehlt die Möglichkeit zur Rückschreibung und Planung. Analysen inspirieren den Analysten in der Regel dazu, neue Szenarien zu erstellen und zu simulieren und Pläne anzupassen. Acterys bietet nahtlose Funktionen zum Ausführen von Planungs-, Konsolidierungs- und Unternehmensleistungsprozessen, die nahtlos in die fortschrittlichsten Visualisierungs- und Analysefunktionen integriert sind.
