The ad hoc querying tool automatically adjusts for database quirks and enables end-users to create comprehensible queries directly with Excel.
Symtrax Corp. has announced the release of StarQuery 3.1 for JDE; a solution focused on empowering users to export and analyze data in real-time enabling better decision making and increased productivity, the company says. StarQuery for JDE empowers JDE end-users by automatically adjusting for JDE Database quirks such as decimal placement and date format.
Business intelligence applications, such as StarQuery, began making headway in the late 1980’s as businesses required a better way to analyze their internal data in order to make more effective business decisions. Business has since changed, but business intelligence is still a top priority.
Gartner states that, “the economic downturn forces businesses to be aware of changes in their organizations, re-think their strategies and operating plans, and face demands from stakeholders and governments for greater transparency about finances, operations, decisions, and core performance metrics.”
Gartner goes on to predict: “Through 2012, more than 35 per cent of the top 5,000 global companies will regularly fail to make insightful decisions about significant changes in their business and markets.” Having a thorough understanding of your company’s data will play an important role in a company’s success.
StarQuery leverages a company's database expert by allowing the person to create a view of the database that contains recognizable field names and is limited to only the fields needed. End-users use the views to create and execute queries from within Excel as needed, or queries can be pre-built and run anytime with just one click. Advanced users can take advantage of StarQuery 3.1’s ability to drill down within a query and see multidimensional, real-time views of their data.
StarQuery for JDE utilizes a unique JD Edwards extension giving StarQuery increased functionality for JDE ERP users. Using the Symtrax extension for JDE, users can automatically change date format (to Julian format), properly record decimals, and add end-user friendly table and field descriptions.
"This new StarQuery Suite version, compatible with JD Edwards ERP, is a complete and reliable business intelligence solution facilitating JDE ERP understanding in automatically rendering changes to users. Its intuitive interface and its drill-down functionality efficiently improve our customers queries,” emphasizes Bernard Aldebert, managing director of Symtrax. “This new solution reasserts StarQuery Suite’s uniqueness within the BI market."
StarQuery Suite doesn’t require a data warehouse or modifications to your current IT infrastructure. It can be installed in a few minutes after which users experience a quick ROI from the real time, multidimensional navigation, the company says.
