MITS is a powerful business intelligence solution that offers advanced dynamic and interactive data reporting. Utilizing MITI’s own Hypercube technology, MITS takes information in a company’s computer system and makes it quickly and easily accessible to decision-makers. Now MITI has taken the technology a step further with MitsWeb Dashboard.

MitsWeb Dashboard enables users to have information at their fingertips as they've never had before. It allows the user to assemble a Dashboard made from MitsWeb Dashboard "objects" showing "key metrics" about their organization. Residing on a small amount of space on the computer screen, MitsWeb Dashboard can be set up to periodically poll for fresh information that continuously informs the user rather than requiring them to run a report or take valuable time researching issues. Information may be displayed with an unprecedented degree of immediacy.

"The MitsWeb Dashboard enhancement brings MITS to a whole new level of functionality," said Pat Gilbrough, president of MITI. "The ability to make users aware of key metrics in their specific area of responsibility greatly empowers them to be on top of activity in their organization. Productivity will increase as employees are made aware of key performance indicators."

For example, the MitsWeb Dashboard may be used to show how many transactions are being entered today versus the same date and time last year; dollar volume totals; trends; differences; counts; and ratios, among many other variations. These metrics may be presented in charts, as a single number, as a grid of numbers and factors, or even as images. MitsWeb Dashboards support building fully customized dashboard objects through the use of a highly flexible report processing engine. These custom objects have full access to MITS report data and can use custom logic to show highly condensed sets of information, such as color indicators to high-light key metrics (e.g., if lower than a 10% profit margin, show a red dot).  All dashboard objects can link to the underlying MITS Flash Screens and/or MITS Detail Displays.  When linked to a MITS Flash Screen, the user may then perform OLAP analysis with the standard interactive reporting functionality provided with MITS.

As a proven solution, the MitsWeb Dashboard has been incorporated into Reynolds & Reynolds' (www.reyrey.com) new ERAxt Advanced Reporting module. This new module is being included in every new and upgraded ERAxt system. Reynolds & Reynolds, the world's largest IBM U2 Value-Added Reseller, has more than 10,000 vehicle dealerships as customers and has begun to roll out the ERAxt Advanced Reporting module including MitsWeb Dashboard, to them.

"In its first implementation MitsWeb Dashboard was incorporated into Reynolds & Reynolds' ERAxt Advanced Reporting module, and it has been a resounding success," said Fred Owen, MITI's Vice President and General Manager. "MitsWeb Dashboard is groundbreaking technology that adds even more capabilities to the MITS tool set, transforming how information is presented to the user and making it even easier to take advantage of company data. The fact that Reynolds & Reynolds, a large and respected VAR, is utilizing MITS and MitsWeb Dashboard in its ERAxt software really underscores the benefits of this technology."
