Important iMIS Analytics concepts
iMIS Analytics can be installed without any customization, and you will have access to many useful key performance indicators by using the supplied iMIS Analytics Briefing Book for ProClarity Professional. You don't need to understand data warehousing or online analytical processing (OLAP) to gain instant value from using iMIS Analytics.
If you understand some basic concepts, however, you can take advantage of the full power of iMIS Analytics.
- If your executives and managers understand the basic elements of an OLAP cube, they can use OLAP viewers such as ProClarity Professional to create any view of iMIS data that they need, rather than relying only on the predefined views in the Briefing Book.
- If your IT staff understands some basic data warehousing concepts and the general architecture of iMIS Analytics, they can:
- Determine how to implement iMIS Analytics as a data mart in the bus architecture of a larger enterprise data warehouse solution.
- Determine which of your custom iMIS 10 demographics (custom fields) should be added to the data warehouse to provide you with even stronger business intelligence than that offered by a non-customized implementation of iMIS Analytics.
