EMI+ features

Explore, manipulate and analyse data with speed and ease

EMI+ has been developed using the latest Microsoft.Net technologies. It incorporates embedded On Line Analytical Processing (OLAP) functionality, enabling it to analyse extensive multi-dimensional data compiled from various Autopart data sources. Working from pre-built data cubes, the application can perform complex analytical and ad-hoc queries on  millions of rows of data with sub-second response times.

EMI+ presents information in a flexible tabular format. Columns can be shown, hidden or sorted and data can be dynamically filtered, pivoted, drilled down and rolled up. EMI+ also contains a rich array of calculation features including aggregation functions; formulas; percentages; and ranking. This makes EMI+ a powerful tool for performing trend, variance and gap analysis.
 
EMI+ offers a number of options for information distribution. The data cubes are extremely compact and can easily be copied and shared for offline analysis. Managers can also export data to a number of static formats including text, CSV and Excel or share data on an intranet via the HTML export option.
