CALUMO 11: Delivering Outstanding Query and Write-back Performance

[Calumo]

Query performance was the most frequently reported product-related problem cited in Nigel Pendse’s BI Survey (www.bi-survey.com). *Our own research further indicates that poor response times (especially write-back performance) are responsible for the failure of up to 85% of Business Intelligence and Performance Management projects.

The CALUMO Group has developed and released, in CALUMO 11, a set of algorithms and methods to achieve breakthrough response times for business intelligence and planning type activities including ad-hoc analysis, dynamic reports and write-back forms for planning budgeting and forecasting.

CALUMO 11’s query and write-back algorithms have been optimised to avoid any performance issues. These CALUMO performance optimising technical innovations include:

• automating the optimisation of MDX
• automating the optimisation of write-back
• batch and compress data transfers between internet client and server [in both directions]
• automate the correct order of calculation.

Our customers use this capability extensively for convenient and rapid data collection during their planning, budget and forecasting cycles. During any data collection, our customers can focus on the business process without being distracted by poor write-back performance or response times.

CALUMO 11 is also used by our customers for executive dashboards, guided self-service analytics and dynamic reporting from Excel or through the Web. Users view parameter-driven reporting templates, or create their own custom views and reports.

CALUMO’s excellent query performance means that self-service analytics can be done at the speed of thought. Questions can be refined and supplementary analysis produced immediately, leading to even better questions, answers and smarter actions.

CALUMO’s approach radically unclogs our customers’ IT department’s backlog of reporting and analysis for the business and shrinks the gap between analysis and action.
