2 SELF-SERVICE ANALYTIC BUSINESS INTELLIGENCE: SMART INTELLIGENCE WITH INFONEA INFONEA is the first self-service data science solution helping companies to truly and better understand their customers, products, and processes. With INFONEA, data-affine users do not only spot anomalies playfully within large, complex data sets moreover they are now in the position to also identify the cause in greater depth. While elsewhere statistical expert functions have to be programmed with high efforts, these features are already encapsulated in INFONEA in form of easy-to-use modules to be used out-of-thebox. Interactively, in a dialogue with the data, users simply phrase the versatile analytic tasks the software then uses automatically the right algorithms for the granular und visual data analysis. The results can be directly processes in INFONEA: they are comprehensive for any recipient via dynamic reports or interactive analyses. INFONEA Dashboard

3 INFONEA Predictive: Prediction of temporal developments From pure data up to competitive intelligence Creating quickly target-group oriented (and dynamic) reports, optimizing them at short notice, sharing insights with others: INFONEA offers more freedom and possibilities for proactive initiatives of data enthusiasts than other Business Intelligence solutions. Specialist departments handle their reporting tasks with INFONEA as a self-service independently from IT experts or specially trained power users and without scripting nor programming efforts. Thus, reporting and decisionmaking processes will be accelerated and provide for a leaner reporting system that is in the position to react quickly to new events or changed requirements. INFONEA simplifies each of your steps on that path: from the mere connection of the data stocks to be analyzed over the creation of complex analyses and structured dashboards to sharing the analyses on a variety of (mobile) devices. In the continuum between interactive reporting, analytics for end-users and Data Science INFONEA paves the way from data-based, professional questions to data-driven, reliable solutions: INFONEA is the first self-service data science solution helping companies to truly and better understand their customers, products, and processes. Data Science is not only employed in company management, but growingly in departments such as Marketing, Sales, Human Resources, or Controlling. Depending on the requirements, Data Science leans then on modern methods and algorithms to answer questions in the areas of e.g. classification, regression, dimension reduction, or analyses of time series. With INFONEA, data-affine users do not only spot anomalies playfully within large, complex data sets moreover they are now in the position to also identify the cause in greater depth. While elsewhere statistical expert functions have to be programmed with high efforts, these features are already encapsulated in INFONEA in form of easy-to-use modules to be used out-of-the-box. Interactively, in a dialogue with the data, users simply phrase the versatile analytic tasks the software then uses automatically the right algorithms for the granular and visual data analysis. The results can be directly processes in INFONEA: they are comprehensive for any recipient via dynamic reports or interactive analyses. Embedding algorithm-based Data Science applications in INFONEA enables an intuitive and flexible employment for the end-user. This continuum is presented in just one web interface in INFONEA 10.0 for the first time: the business user can switch between the interfaces for reports, in-depth analyses, or data science visualizations with just one mouse click. In contrast to pure data mining tools, INFONEA offers an encapsulation of out-of-the-box algorithms, statistical calculations, and comprehensible visualizations for user-friendly usage. High performance due to In-Memory technology Already since 1996, INFONEA relies on In-Memory technology and as such is pioneering this cutting-edge technology. Customers benefit from this long-standing experience and the company s extensive know-how. This is not only reflected in the maximum intuitive usability of INFONEA, but also shows with respect to the illustration of complex business processes as well as the realization of most demanding security requirements to which INFONEA reacts with ever high performance. Analyze Big Data in seconds You want to oversee a nearly unimaginable big data stock, and analyze it to the detail at the same time? And preferably ad hoc? With INFONEA, the enrichment and optimization of analyses is no problem at all: at the speed of a second, you can add millions of data sets to your analyses, identify single data in respective tables with exclusion filters, or evaluate entries via conditional formatting. As a matter of course, INFONEA guarantees by means of detailed permission concepts that each user has only access to the data, for which he is authorized. For example, a sales team manager may view the performance of all his team members, whereas the analysis possibilities of a regional account manager are limited to his sales territory. Detect anomalies automatically One decisive competitive advantage might be, how quickly errors, interruptions, discontinuities, or new insights can be found. INFONEA focuses on the input data at all times, but also supports comparative analyses and points with tables and visualizations to anomalies in the complete aggregation by means of a rating system: clearly and without the necessity of IT- or statistic knowledge for the end user.

4 SELF-SERVICE ANALYTICS / INFONEA FEATURE OVERVIEW / Decision can be derived immediately and business advantages can be achieved in an instant. My Data adding own data as you wish Next to known enterprise data sources such as ERP, CRM, website or various controlling systems, individual data play an important role in executing an analysis, for example when looking for an enrichment of individual plan specifications in Excel. Or if, at short notice, market data have to be taken into consideration e.g. to evaluate quickly, which consequences a natural disaster has with respect to the logistics of an enterprise. With INFONEA, these additional data can be integrated easily by the user either for a spontaneous analysis or as a permanent enhancement of the total data stock. Making results available for mobile usage Different report elements of INFONEA are available on selected mobile devices. Depending on the kind of mobile device (esp. tablet vs. smart phone), the extent of the utilization opportunities differs. Report Data Service By means of the integrated Report Data Services (RDS), users can employ INFONEA as data source by defining an individual data interface via self-service. INFONEA thus enables the data export into Microsoft Excel, can deliver to other reporting tools for adaptations, or export them as exact PDF reports. Excel sheets are afterwards usable for the import into INFONEA. Work on individual solutions in the INFONEA Lab And if new visualizations specifically designed for one enterprise should be realized, or a complex evaluation process? Then INFONEA offers the opportunity to achieve this together with developers in the integrated INFONEA Lab. That way, (almost) every wish can be fulfilled.

5 And which wish can INFONEA fulfill for you? Technical Data With INFONEA, no investment in special hardware is necessary. The BI solution works with a standard Windows set-up with a x64 architecture. INFONEA offers interfaces for all databases, which can be connected and analyzed via ODBC, OLE DB, or ADO.NET (e.g. MS SQL Server, Oracle, MS Access, DB2, Hadoop), and for Excel as well as CSV i.e. flat files. You are using SAP? As a partner of Theobald Software, an SAP partner, Comma Soft guarantees a frictionless analysis of customer data via respective interfaces in INFONEA. On request, geographical map material of partners can be integrated and may be used for visualization purposes. INFONEA uses Open Source products, which may be used quality assured in business fields. Details are included in the Release Notes.
