Key Components of our SaaS platform (see diagram)
Data Capture & Standardisation Module (DCSM):
This module ensures the automatic transfer of data from corporate data files or via online data templates. Information is uploaded from multiple data sources to our server, the files are encrypted and a vigorous data reconciliation process ensures quality and integrity of the data output.
KPI Generation Module (KGM):
The pre-determined key performance indicators (KPI’s) are produced by the system ready for reconciliation. These KPI’s form the foundation for the final published data.
Reconciliation & Publish Module (RPM):
Our proven track record in data quality control shows that our data validation processes work and work well. Our customers rely on data quality and integrity to make very important business decisions. Any anomalies detected are followed up with personal phone contact with clients.
Report Generation Module (RGM):
Our clients can access the published data online via the internet using a unique and secure password. The reporting output is flexible and may include such features as tables, charts, trends, scorecards, automated executive summary reports and multiple dynamic query databases.
Reporting results can be viewed against multiple performance bands (e.g. My Site versus the Low 25%, Mid 50% and Top 25% of performers).
