ZeeWise Announces New Software to Provide System-wide Insight Into Franchise Performance

Bi Software No Comments »



Atlanta, GA — February 5, 2010

ZeeWise™ Inc. (http://www.zeewise.com), the leading provider of Franchise Business Intelligence (BI) software announced today the release of CARS Premier Edition (Collection And Reporting System) at the 50th Annual International Franchise Association (IFA) Convention in San Antonio, Texas. For the first time in franchising, the new ZeeWise software enables managers to gain operational insight similar to the reporting and BI capabilities available to the Fortune 500.

CARS Premier Edition (CARS PE) is a Web-based software tool designed for use with Intuit Inc.’s QuickBooks® to provide franchisors with insight into their franchisees, or “Zees”, financial and operational performance.

“Utilizing our unique patent-pending Zpipe data collection tool, CARS PE automatically collects and consolidates individual Zees QuickBooks financial data as well as operational data from line of business applications. The CARS PE system then consolidates this data and presents it in a visual format using summary reports and dashboards to create an enterprise-wide model for benchmarking Zee performance,” said Jerry Bell, CEO of ZeeWise.

ZeeWise, a certified QuickBooks Silver Developer, has created the only software tool that is able to combine both QuickBooks financial data with operational data from other sources and report from one consolidated system. This enhances the value of QuickBooks to the franchise business community by enabling the creation of unique management Key Performance Indicators, or KPIs, to help owners, managers and franchise executives monitor sales, operational and marketing spending efficiencies.

Customers agree. “Particularly valuable are the benchmarks, rankings and peer group comparisons, which are available instantly from the ZeeWise Web-based system” said Peter Ross, CEO of Senior Helpers, a 300-unit homecare franchise chain in Baltimore, Md. that connects professional caregivers with seniors to improve their quality of life while allowing them to live independently at home. “This gives our field business consultants a powerful tool to work with our Zees to drive the growth and profits of not only their individual units but of our entire system.”

The 2010 launch of ZeeWise CARS PE follows the 2008 launch of CARS at the 48th Annual IFA Convention in Orlando, Fla. The earlier version represented the first time that remote QuickBooks franchisee data could be automatically consolidated into an enterprise reporting model for an entire franchise system. Now CARS PE extends that ground breaking capability to include data collection from the many and various Line of Business, or LOB, software products in use across franchising to manage day to day operations. By combining both LOB operational data as well as QuickBooks financial data into a single enterprise data reporting system, ZeeWise has enabled franchisors to uniquely measure the health of their system.

ZeeWise CARS Premier Edition provides real time monitoring of business conditions including reports which identify both the top and bottom performing Zees as measured by critical system metrics. Utilizing CARS PE reports, franchise business consultants can quickly identify the top performers and investigate what drove their results in order to replicate best practices while still having time to identify and work with underperforming sites to improve essential business tasks. CARS PE increases overall franchise system productivity through automated monitoring of system operating results, including specific business performance measurements at the unit level, via real-time Web-based dashboards and reports.

Bi Software No Comments »



Boulder, CO — August 8, 2006

The Business Intelligence Network is pleased to announce the results of its 2006 Data Visualization Competition. The competition was conducted from May 9 through July 14, 2006.

Organized and judged by Stephen Few, data visualization expert and author, the competition required contestants to submit visual representations of data to solve the business problems identified in the scenario descriptions Few provided. Contestants were able to submit a solution for any or all of the five different scenarios provided. From the 68 entries received, one comprehensive winner was selected, as well as one winner for each individual scenario.

“Data visualization extends our ability to make sense of and communicate business information. It provides the means to fulfill the promise of business intelligence (BI), but only if BI software vendors develop the tools and businesspeople develop the skills needed to apply it effectively. The winners of the Business Intelligence Network’s 2006 Data Visualization Competition show us what data visualization can achieve when it’s done right. I hope this competition and the follow-up articles that will feature the winners will help to expand the reach of effective data visualization beyond the domain of a few to ‘business as usual’ for many,” says Few.

All submissions were received and cataloged by the Business Intelligence Network. Any information that could have identified the submitter was removed before the solutions were distributed for judging. Stephen Few reviewed and judged all submissions, and he selected the winners based on the effectiveness of their solutions.

Software Industry Veteran Tom Tortolani Joins Skytide as VP of Product Management

Software Industry Veteran Tom Tortolani Joins Skytide as VP of Product Management











San Mateo, CA — March 6, 2007

Skytide, a leading provider of next-generation analytical solutions, today announced that it has appointed Tom Tortolani as Vice President of Product Management. In his new role, Mr. Tortolani will be responsible for identifying market and customer demands, translating them into product requirements, defining product strategy and bringing new products to market.

The Skytide Analytical Platform is the first BI software that analyzes both traditional and non-traditional data sources to uncover the hidden details behind a company’s key business metrics. Because Skytide operates on data where it resides – without a data warehouse or any ETL process required – companies are able to analyze massive volumes of data in near real-time, at a fraction of the cost of a traditional BI solution. It is also the first and only solution available today that can understand complex data from virtually any source, including semi-structured data such as log files, XML, and HTML.

“The Skytide Analytical Platform does something extraordinary that no other business intelligence software has been able to do: analyze huge volumes of both relational and non-relational data in near real time,” said Tom Tortolani, Vice President of Product Management at Skytide. “I look forward to evolving Skytide’s solutions to help companies derive value from previously untapped data resources and gain deeper understanding of what’s driving their business.”

Prior to joining Skytide, Mr. Tortolani spent nearly 20 years in technology product management at successful Silicon Valley software companies. Mr. Tortolani was among the first ten employees at Hyperion Solutions/Arbor Software. As the main gatekeeper of the company’s product vision and roadmaps, he was a key contributor to the creation of the BI and OLAP industry, successfully managing multiple product lines and more than twenty product releases. Previously, Mr. Tortolani drove decision support systems, multi-dimensional data product requirements and analytic software implementations at Pilot Executive Software/Thorn EMI Computer Software. Tom is also the primary inventor on US patent 6,317,750 for advanced multi-dimensional navigational techniques.

In recent years, he was responsible for bringing leading-edge products to market for two startup companies, both of which were acquired: first as Senior Director of Product Management at Provato, and then as VP of Product Management at Aceva Technologies.

“Tom shares the Skytide vision that BI doesn’t have to be expensive, complicated, and difficult to implement – and that it should tap into all types of data sources, not just the 20% of company data that most BI platforms can analyze,” said Keith Feingold, chief executive officer of Skytide. “We are thrilled to welcome Tom to the team and know that under his leadership, the Skytide Analytical Platform will evolve into an even more high-impact product.”

About Skytide

Skytide is a leading provider of next-generation analytical solutions that provide an unprecedented view into what is driving business performance. Skytide’s breakthrough technology uses XML as a common layer to dramatically reduce system complexity while offering advanced functionality that cannot be achieved by traditional BI technology. Application areas for Skytide technology include contact centers, risk and security management, compliance, and other areas of business that generate significant volumes of mission-critical unstructured and semi-structured data. Skytide partners include IBM, Sun Microsystems and Inxight. Based in San Mateo, Calif., Skytide is a privately held company funded by Granite Ventures and El Dorado Ventures.

Our IT professionals have become expert in using this technology, literally cutting days out of the process and achieving flawless execution in data accuracy.”

The winning submissions covered a range of industries from healthcare to law enforcement to direct marketing.

Other 2008 Vision Award winners included the City of Houston Police Department, Premier Inc. and the IBM Company Envision Credit Union.

“LifeMasters continues to apply Pervasive technology in innovative ways to drive their organization forward,” said Mike Hoskins, chief technology officer and general manager, Integration Products for Pervasive. “In addition to their award-winning use of Pervasive Data Integrator, they use Pervasive Data Profiler™ to rapidly and comprehensively assess quality on huge data sets, leveraging the massively parallel Pervasive DataRush™ engine, and they are currently collaborating with us on a cutting-edge metadata management solution.

Business Portal and Applications

Bi Software No Comments »

A corporate portal that enables users to query and produce reports on enterprise-wide databases. The term was coined by Information Advantage, makers of the MyEureka software, which was the first to combine BI software with a corporate portal.

A Web “supersite” that provides a variety of services including Web search, news, blogs, discussion groups, shopping and links to other sites. The major general-purpose portals are Google, Yahoo!, MSN and AOL, all of which offer free Web-based e-mail accounts. TV networks and newspapers provide general-purpose portals, but not e-mail. Many portals allow the home page to be personalized (see personal portal). Prior to the Web, CompuServe and AOL functioned as portals, aggregating information from various sources.

To some, portals represent communities; to others, they are trading hubs or e-marketplaces; and to many, they are integrated desktop environments. Putting aside the hype, a common theme of substance underlies portals — a theme of greater levels of integration. From a unifying technology perspective, a portal is a single integrated point of comprehensive, ubiquitous, and useful access to information (data), applications, and people. This definition encompasses all the different views of the purpose and functionality of portals. But more importantly, strong pursuit of satisfying this portal definition will help evolve the next generation of integrated services and business processes.

Portal infrastructures provide a set of integrated services to facilitate the flow of information (data) between applications, people, and processes. IBM’s strategy is to provide the infrastructure and components for creating portal applications today while preserving a growth path to future levels of comprehensiveness, ubiquity, and integration. These services are common to the different portal types and usage scenarios discussed above, and are organized into six broad categories as shown in the figure below. Information services, application services, and collaboration services constitute core services that provide access to information, applications, and people and are coordinated and managed by the access and integration services layer. System management services provide control of the environment through instrumented applications, while presentation services control the user interaction and user experience of the portal.
