Visual KPI Product Overview

Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) are critical for monitoring your entire asset base, and they need to be composite and mobile. Visual KPI delivers on-demand, business-critical data, exactly when you need it.

Composite KPIs: operations information that is derived from multiple data systems.

No matter what your role in the enterprise, you rely on data from a multitude of existing systems. Visual KPI allows you to create composite KPIs and scorecards using data from any combination of existing systems, including: OSIsoft PI System, SAP BW, Business Objects, SmartSignal EPI*Center and ECM, Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle, Invensys InSQL, Rockwell RSSQL, OLE DB and Web Services.

Mobile KPIs: operations data that can be viewed on any mobile device, handheld or desktop browser.

With Visual KPI, you can access business critical data from any web browser: mobile device, handheld or desktop. With Visual KPI, you can access data about process manufacturing and utility operations on virtually all smart phones and PDAs, including the Blackberry, Smartphone, Apple iPhone and Motorola MC35. Tailored to fit the screen size requirements of your device, KPI and scorecard views make it easy to collect, view and act onyour data.

New! Visual KPI 3.0 – advanced flexibility, data delivery and visualization.

With 3.0, consolidate thousands of real-time KPIs into a single, at-a-glance view of your entire asset hierarchy. New features include:

True Roll-Up Charts (TRU Charts): Collapse KPIs into single view without additional configuration to view relevant, role-based KPIs.

Attribute-driven Scorecards and Views: Create Scorecards and Views using SQL queries with a built-in ‘Query by Example’ editor (no SQL knowledge required.)

User-Defined Calculation Engine: Create KPIs that include basic equations, allowing KPI Attributes to be derived from real-time values and other Attributes.

Run-time grouping: Regroup data at run-time and as needed, creating tailored views for the task at hand, e.g. show KPIs grouped by ‘Priority.

Advanced Visualization: KPI and scorecard views with additional color, mapping and layout schemes provide users with improved visibility into role-based data. Bar charts improve analysis of KPI values in context, which is especially useful for KPIs with physical limits.

Advanced Navigation: Pervasive hyperlinks speed up information location and analysis.

Mobile Device Support: Support for virtually all smart phones and PDAs includes the new Motorola MC35 Enterprise Digital Assistant (EDA) and the Apple iPhone.

Advanced Integration: With support for data sources using ODBC, Web Services and Excel Services (part of MOSS 2007), users have more flexibility and access to use KPIs already calculated somewhere else in their organization.
