- Data warehousing
In today’s competitive world insightful decision making commands a premium. Meeting the demand for data capture, business intelligence, advanced analysis and fast reporting requires more than what a traditional data management system can handle.
Data warehousing provides a single storage area for data collected throughout a business as well as third-party data. The data is stored in a manner that is best for analysis, while avoiding the slowing down of day-to-day business operations.
With a data warehouse in place, managers throughout the business can access the data to make informed business decisions. Not only is the data now more complete, it is also more accessible.
Creating a single storage area for data and integrating data from across the business and beyond gives a business an incredible competitive edge.
By consolidating data, business managers can now look at how a customer interacts with their stores or outlets and with their products as a whole. Businesses now have analytical tools that ensure customers have the best mix of offers, while achieving their maximum profit potential.
- ODBC
Flexibility and better data analysis are the key benefits of Micronet’s ODBC driver. Micronet’s ODBC driver now makes it possible for you to pull data to external sources such as spreadsheets, SQL databases and interface systems such as Crystal Reports.
The Micronet Open Database Connectivity (ODBC) is an Application Programming Interface (API) for general database access. ODBC enables applications (such as Microsoft Word, Excel and Access; Gognos Tools; Crystal Reports; Crystal Analyser; etc) to connect to the Micronet data files/fields directly in a very fast, secure and controlled manner.
Accessing external database files via ODBC, like your Micronet data, with products like Microsoft Excel and is useful when if have a very large database to work with or you want to share the database with others.situations…
Micronet ODBC comes complete with comprehensive security control so that each Micronet User ID can be specifically configured to a nominated level of ODBC data access, or totally blocked if you desire.
