Luna Decision The ideal platform to implement Advanced Analytics, Big Data Discovery, Simulations and CPM applications Luna Decision Data Source STORAGE CALCULATION + x _ = DATA ENTRY VISUALIZATION Office Simulations What-If? Applications Prototypes Luna Transforms all the stand-alone processes into an engineered and integrated system.
Luna s highly integrated CPM platform data simulation visualization & reporting support decision making high data volumes integrations of diverse data mobiles capabilities Gartner s Cool Vendor Analytics 2013 Gartner s CPM Magic Quadrant Report IDC s Company to Watch high performance and versatility flexible and fast data discovery high customization and integration risk reduction and savings in costs
Data acquisition Any Data Source EXTRACT Different data source integration (Relational DBs, flat files, Office) Heterogeneous data organization/format management Custom native Gateways APIs support TRANSFORM Translating coded values, multiple coding Generating surrogate Key Values Splitting and Joining of Key Values Aggregations and Calculation values on import Pivoting and transposing Select distinct results saved in separate tables Lookup of allowed key on stored tables On record Call Back handling
HCR Storage Data storage is the foundation of a fast and effective Corporate Performance Management (CPM) system. Unfortunately, traditional storage systems based on relational databases usually fail to provide the speed and flexibility actually needed. Luna stores data into its robust and fast HCR TM (Hierarchical Cartesian Relational) engine. MAIN ADVANTAGES Fluid and immediate data browsing Easy integration of multiple data sources High efficiency and storage compression Seamless integration with the other Luna modules Efficient write-back via www interface Capability to work offline
HCR Storage HCR TM Storage Hierarchical structures management - H Fully indexed multidimensional structures - C Many to many relationship management - R Meta-data handling implementing referential integrity Multi-data type storage Write back capability Cubes maintenance without rebuilding Data sparsity management Stored and virtual formula Virtual Cubes Smart Paging System [TM] B-Tree indexing for long dimensions 256 dimensions for cube; 2 billions of elements per dimension No limits on cube size, 2 GB segments on FS Unicode support for 2 bytes character sets
The calculation engine + _ - x = The calculation engine is at the heart of a CPM system. A complete system goes beyond simple reporting and charting. Data manipulation involves simulations, scenario, forecasts, overhead allocation, data integration, ranking normalization, and more. The write-back capabilities of the Luna HCR data engine allow the generation of new data starting from historical series or partial sets. The amazing multi-dimensional methods of the Luna calculation engine makes data manipulation simple, leaving the user free to focus her or his wisdom & time on business-related results rather than programming complexity.
The calculation engine + _ - x = CALCULATION Block Operations Dimensional and Cross Dimensional Formulas Roll-Up: different aggregation criteria, multi data-type handling Semi-additive roll-up Data Normalization, multi level and multidimensional Data Apportionment with flexible drivers system Data Ranking, multi level and multidimensional SIMULATIONS Data entry performed at different hierarchical levels. Alternative data entry on charts: context menus, sliders, hot areas. Call back scripts on data entry for validation or general event handling on any widget. Data generation by replication Complex calculation workflow stored into scripts. Structured scripting language with full recording capabilities Interpreted language with tracing capabilities, breakpoints, bookmarks. Workspace including multi type variables and arrays.

Web Broadcasting WEB Embedded Web server capable of publishing cubes and reports Possibility to add an external secure web server Full compatibility with reports developed by the client Reports rendered by the server, look and feel identical to the client. Pure dynamic HTML/HTML5 CSS3, plugin free, no applet required Write back capabilities on both cubes and reports. Optimistic locking implemented Fully interactive interface: buttons, list-fields, entry-fields, sliders Capability of executing scripts for simulations, what if, drill through Localized workspace for each user (variables, temporary cubes) Profiling and authorizations fully implemented. Integration with system directories (i.e. LDAP, Active directory) Cubes and reports export in CSV and PDF Preloaded or 'on demand' reports 'One click' setup and deployment Running as a service or as application.
