Solution Delivers Universal, Secure Access to Enterprise Data Through a User-Obvious Interface

eThority, a company delivering powerful business intelligence through a user-obvious interface, is launching its eThority Enterprise Edition in Booth #712 at the TDWI World Conference today.

eThority Enterprise Edition closes the gap between basic desktop applications, simple reporting tools, and ultra-complex technical offerings by providing customers with universal access to enterprise data in a highly secure and compliant manner. This allows customers to leverage their existing investments in information.

The eThority Enterprise Edition is powered by a robust engine that helps customers access, analyze and report data much like an enterprise-class solution. However, eThority is different in that it marries the power of an enterprise system with the ease of use of desktop reporting tools. The final element is an innovative presentation layer that delivers compelling advanced data visualization.

Through the eThority DataBook application, users can create visually stunning reports in minutes with no training required. "For most business users, data is complex and inaccessible, which means organizations don't realize the full value of their data investment," said Mike Psenka, founder and CEO of eThority. "eThority destroys that notion by making business intelligence ridiculously obvious. We will change the way people and businesses interact with data."

Redefining User Friendly

eThority Enterprise Edition includes the company's Web-based interface that eThority calls "user-obvious," because it allows anyone to understand and access information from any source and create strategic reports and informative graphs quickly and easily.

eThority's innovative, SwiftSeek[tm] Rapid Navigation tool allows the user to browse thousands of data pages, containing millions of rows, with the simple movement of a mouse. With eThority, unruly data becomes manageable, and customers go from raw data to highly polished output in minutes.

Data Analytics

eThority provides user-definable data shaping tools and tags with its Data Extension Services[tm]. These allow customers to extend their existing systems' data fields without rewriting reports. Business rules, data tags and extendable organizational structures are defined at the departmental level, while still obeying the overall system architecture.

Business intelligence is bound by multiple laws and regulations making compliance a key consideration. eThority's Compliance Monitor allows users to safely distribute sensitive information with the help of eThority's integrated security and compliance management tools. Sarbanes-Oxley, HIPAA, GLBA, and FERPA needs are addressed through this secure, comprehensive system.

A business intelligence solution should allow access to an organization's complete data sources. eThority's eTelligent Adapters[tm] accept and process data from virtually any source, including data warehouses, data marts and traditional BI toolsets. eThority allows the full potential of these resources to be realized by making their assets accessible to all decision makers. In addition to common open standards such as XML, X.12, ODBC, and HL-7, eThority has the ability to process data from legacy systems, batch process managers and even provides an adapter for custom interface parameters.

eThority also allows the user to consolidate information from their desktop applications such as spreadsheets with the data supplied by existing enterprise systems.

Reporting Functions

Enterprise Edition's advanced rendering engine coupled with its wide library of styles and functions allows users to create reports with minimal time and effort. With SuperPivot[tm], users can view and analyze multi-variable data with a few simple clicks. The eValuate[tm] feature is a unique data visualization tool that allows users to readily see the performance of any individual, item, event, product, or procedure.

eThority has simplified ongoing reporting with its Auto-Distribution feature. This multifaceted scheduling system eliminates manual report distribution by providing automated reporting to defined groups. Delivery and Support eThority delivers its solutions primarily through custom installations and integrations using a customer's existing servers. The company will also work with customers who need preconfigured servers or a hosted Software-as-a-Service model.

eThority provides ongoing service and support through its partner network.
