Interactive visual analytics, connected to "live" data.
Markets are so competitive these days - and resources so tight - it sometimes seems you need a crystal ball to lead your company on a steady and profitable course. Organisations have invested heavily in technology to gather data about their business, yet people often struggle to make sense of the numbers quickly to make fast, accurate decisions, and stay ahead of competition.

Combining personal and corporate data into intuitive visual presentations is difficult. Modeling the future performance of the business through “what-if” analyses is often left to statisticians who are disconnected from the front-lines of where you need to make your decisions and drive performance.

All that has changed with Crystal Xcelsius Workgroup.

How it works

Crystal Xcelsius Workgroup provides everything you need to create interactive visual analytics for your workgroup that connect to Excel spreadsheets or any external data source using web services or XML. Your team can then share these visual analytics “live” within PowerPoint, PDF, Outlook, and the Web.

Benefits

Crystal Xcelsius Workgroup is the new standard in visual analytics– and the only interactive visual analytics software to give you these benefits:

• Interactive visual modeling.

Crystal Xcelsius Workgroup has visual modeling, which enables you to develop “forward-looking” visual analytics that let executives plan ahead. They will identify critical data relationships, probe elaborate what-if scenarios, and peer into your company’s possible future performance.

Using visual sliders and dials on the screen, decision-makers can alter underlying assumptions, and immediately see the impact on projected performance indicators directly on the analytics– dramatically shortening their time-to-decision.

• Easy distribution of visual analytics to your workgroup.

Unlock the power of information to others on your team. With Crystal Xcelsius Workgroup you can easily distribute live visual models in Microsoft PowerPoint, Outlook, and PDF so users have easy access to live data to gain deeper insight. Moreover, you can provide your models as visual calculators and dynamic productivity tools over the web, intranets, or portals-any environment that supports Macromedia Flash.

• Connected analytics to personal or corporate data.

Crystal Xcelsius Workgroup lets you create visual business models from personal or corporate data with point-and-click ease. Flexible data access using Excel or SOAP-based web services means your visual models are live-with up-to-the-minute information.

Best of all, Crystal Xcelsius Workgroup is designed with the end user in mind. Rapid development and deployment is achieved with a template-driven architecture and Excel-based foundation so you can serve your own needs for interactive visual analytics.
