Dash Boards

Dash boards provide an effective method of presenting summary information in a visual way.  A dashboard can include navigation links that pass parameters to other reports, allowing your users a simple method to access client reports.  Reports can include drill-down and drill-through functionality which provides an intuitive point-and-click interface.

We can help you design and implement dashboards and reports that support the way you run your business and portfolios.  As previous practitioners, we never embraced the idea that our workflows and business needs had to adapt to the capability of our vendors software.   The flexible nature of our warehouse allows for rapid customization of reports, dashboards, etc.

Our database structure provides a reporting platform that your Associates can leverage for faster, smarter decision making.  Combine data in new ways to gain greater visibility about your business and portfolios or to upgrade the content and quality of internal and client reporting.

Reporting possibilities are nearly endless and easily integrated with existing data and systems.  Explore your portfolio data through the lenses of a database and discover answers to questions you haven’t even thought of yet!

Our library includes the typical portfolio reports, but it also contains reports that you can’t produce in Axys®.  Reports can be easily exported to PDF, XML, CSV, TIFF, HTML or Excel.

Portfolio appraisals, purchase/sale or performance reports can now be viewed directly from Insight , a web browser or inside your CRM.  The data can be aggregated, filtered, grouped and manipulated to suit your specific needs.

Graphs, Charts & More

An attractive feature of Microsoft Reporting Services is the ability to include a wide range of charts and graphs.  The ability to customize the report and chart settings in a very granular way, allows for stunning reports.

Why Microsoft Reporting Services?

As an open-structured database environment, there are many tools and methods for accessing the data and for creating reports, including Microsoft Access, Crystal Reports, Excel and many other third-party development apps.  We chose to build our library of reports using Reporting Services for several reasons:   

1. • No incremental costs:  the application and license are included with SQL Server.
   

2. • Established product that Microsoft is committed to expanding and improving.
   

3. • Open environment that provides our client’s with development options, including a large independent community of consultants.
   

4. • A great, web-based reporting tool that provides flexibility and power, including the ability to incorporate graphs.

Insight, our user application included with your subscription, has an intuitive interface that provides your entire organization access to the warehouse data, without the cost of additional licenses.

Rapidly browse using the quick search feature or navigate using a list of favorites.  Included is a comprehensive library of typical reports, but it also contains reports that you can’t produce in Axys®.   Modify the layout or description of the menus to fit your organization and add custom reports to the library.

Filter,  Group, and Aggregate

Our data grid provides the ability to filter on date ranges, group columns and export directly to excel.  All grid settings, such has groupings, hidden columns, etc. are saved for the user and automatically applied the next time the report is viewed.  A powerful feature of Insight is group aggregation,  so for many of our reports, changing from an account to an Axys® group will automatically cause the report to display a consolidated view of the data set.
