Interactive Visual Explorer

Interactive Visual Explorer stands out against most other financial vendor analytics solutions in two major ways:

1. The level of interactivity in this visual analytics tool enables true exploration and discovery of your data. Let’s say you’re in a meeting with stakeholders and they have questions: What is the revenue by channel? Can we look at that information by region? How does that impact revenue in 6 months? You can change your focus on-the-fly and have the answers in seconds in visual dashboards. You don’t have to say, “Let me go back and change my reports, and I’ll get back to you tomorrow.” Your decision-making is more agile with the answers you need right away.
2. With 25+ visualization types, the sophistication of visuals goes well beyond basic charts and graphs. With narration, you can enhance the story the information conveys and make recommendations. With more options in a visual explorer to enhance your stakeholders' understanding of the information, you can move on to discussing solutions and actions.

Standalone business intelligence (BI) solutions are great for analyzing data from multiple solutions across your company. But they’re typically expensive to implement, need in-depth training to use, and require ongoing maintenance. So, if you don’t already have a BI solution, Interactive Visual Explorer is a quick, easy, and inexpensive option for your financial analysis. However, even if you do already have a BI solution in place, there are reasons you may still want to consider Interactive Visual Explorer:

• Total cost of ownership – When you factor in license costs of data extraction middleware, business intelligence license costs, server hardware and software, and custom development to get up and running, Interactive Visual Explorer is significantly less expensive than a typical BI solution.
• Skillsets of your analytics users – Interactive Visual Explorer is easier to use than most BI tools because the data structures are already prebuilt and ready to use based on your Sage Intacct data. Additionally, with over 200+ prebuilt visualizations, it’s easy to use and modify existing visualizations to create your own.
• Accessibility – Interactive Visual Explorer visualizations can be included in your Sage Intacct dashboards and combined with your existing reports and performance cards for easy access and sharing of content.

Yes, most analytics solutions are expensive to setup and maintain. But, with Interactive Visual Explorer, we’ve done the heavy lifting that makes those other solutions so expensive. You don’t need to worry about extracting data, setting up data structures, maintaining servers, or maintaining security and permissions. These activities can run in the tens of thousands of dollars to set up and thousands to maintain ongoing each year. Then add license costs on top of that. In contrast, Interactive Visual Explorer has no implementation or maintenance costs and is offered at a subscription cost that’s not only significantly less expensive, but also affordable to most small to medium businesses.
