Using your data, gain insights that were previously hidden. The Cubeware Solutions Platform supports you in analysing and visualising your data so that you can draw the right conclusions and make better decisions even faster.
Start Immediately with Ad Hoc Analyses
Identify abnormalities in your area of responsibility at a glance!
Create new analyses in no time at all or dive deeper into existing reports. Integrate mash-up elements to perform Excel-like calculations on a cell-by-cell basis and to insert comments. Use slice & dice, drill-down and roll-up operations to rapidly obtain new perspectives on your data. Use analytical formatting to identify outliers in your data material. Use drill-through operations for direct access to underlying data sources. Apply client rules and calculated elements to perform report-specific calculations – without modifying the core data model. Use various splash methods to automatically distribute planning and simulation values in accordance with your definitions. Link ad hoc analyses with individual reports or entire reporting environments to consolidate your findings within a matter of seconds into guided, context-sensitive data stories in order to inform all the stakeholders.

Translate table wallpapers into meaningful data visualisations, or usefully combine both types of presentation. Freely choose between tables and graphics in virtually any combination, layout and format in order to present outliers, progressions and trends across different events in time periods and to take valid decisions faster.
Use topographical, thematic and personal map material to link your data with geo-based information simply and easily. Track delivery routes in real time. Recognise regional and global sales trends. Model the productivity of your production line in every detail. Combine constantly updated data packages on purchasing power, business concentrations in states /regions and other statistical survey with your internal data to e.g. determine your company’s market strength.

Enable Mobile Data Analysis
Make fact-based decisions anytime and anywhere – using mobile BI solutions!

The charitable Bertelsmann Stiftung, founded by Reinhard Mohn in 1977, works on an operational level. Its goal is to promote social change. To achieve this, it takes action in Germany, but also internationally in the fields of social development, education, health, employment, culture and integration. Bertelsmann Stiftung holds a majority shareholding in Bertelsmann AG and is one of the largest operational foundations in Europe with an annual budget volume of approx. 65 million euros. The controlling of Bertelsmann Stiftung focuses on encouraging the effective management of resources and at the same time documenting the charitable use of funds. The focus lies on cost controlling and the management of staff resources; instead of contribution margins, the envisaged social effect is compared with the evaluated resources. For this purpose, financial controlling, personnel controlling and time management were to be consolidated into a one universal reporting and analytical system.
