Detailed analytics for Dimensions customers
Ready your business for faster decision-making
Serving up your teams the reports they need can turn into a full-time job. Project managers, Sales and
your Finance team all want to capitalise on new business opportunities, and to do so they need insights.
Satisfying this demand for information is a manual process. To do so, your Finance team must pull
information from Dimensions and build a report that’s easy for everyone to understand. This takes
time, meaning that when reports do become available, they display outdated information. Also, relying
on human input to reconcile information makes data entry errors possible. This delays important
decisions and distracts you from the projects that make your business money.
aCloud Dashboards explained
aCloud Dashboards is a business intelligence (BI) module designed especially for Dimensions customers.
By presenting data from Dimensions in a way that makes sense to you, it lets you explore and analyse
information in seconds.
The module will segment your data however you wish. Create different reporting dashboards for each
of your teams, giving everyone access to the metrics that matter to them. You’ll no longer be the go-to
for business reporting, as everyone has access to the information they need.
