Introduction

There are many Business Intelligence software tools available today. Unfortunately many of them appear to have been designed and built by people who have never needed to use one, or administer one for an organization.

Most Business Intelligence software focuses on the modern and colorful user experience, showing just how easy it is to create something new and format it to look pretty. Little consideration is given to the time, effort and expense required to design, build and maintain the necessary data structures to support this user experience. Too often the overhead this places on an organization is underestimated which leads to projects going over budget, deliverables being cut or delayed, and users left with something they would rather do using a spreadsheet.

This is why we created Futrix. Futrix was designed by a Business Intelligence consultant to automate much of what he did manually with clients. It was designed by someone who needed to use the capability it provided each and every day.

Futrix has been proven to deliver faster outcomes, under budget and in a way that enables users to have far more flexibility to find the information they need quickly. Yes, Futrix does have the modern user experience allowing users to interact with data using only a web browser, but with Futrix the real value is in the part you don't see. Point Futrix at any table and it will build the necessary structures to present that data in seconds. Futrix will identify and build the necessary summarization tables and linkages allowing users to traverse information from multiple systems without the need for a major systems integration project.

Futrix is licensed for unlimited browser-based users, so data can be made available to anyone with a web-browser in seconds, providing them with a very familiar and intuitive experience delivering information they can understand and trust.
