We're using Monarch, but we're sure that we could be getting better results. Our processes aren't automated, we're doing too much work in Excel once we've got the data, and we can't deliver all the reports we're being asked for. Our systems are changing and we don't know how we can use Monarch to work with the new output.
If any of these sound familiar, Greenbar can help. We can advise on how best to deploy desktop, server or browser based report mining, and we can help you automate any Monarch task. We can help you develop rich summaries that eliminate the need for post-processing of data in Excel, and we can help you adapt your models and projects to new input formats, including ODBC, HTML and PDF sources.
We're faced with a Sarbanes-Oxley requirement for IT audit and don't know if our report mining will pass. How can we document our models and projects so that we can be sure that we've not introduced any errors?
Greenbar can help you get the most from the verification options in Monarch, as well as advise on best practice in modelling to eliminate mistakes and introduce error-detection routines. We can also help you document your models, projects and processes in Visio to easily see the data flow and to help you formalise change management.
I've got some data that is just too complex. The report has a tricky layout, the data is spread across multiple sources, and I can't see how I can build a model to get what I need.
Greenbar can extract data from any source, and can develop complex multi-stage solutions that combine data no matter how complex the business requirement. If you can print the data, then Greenbar can help you get that data into any format you need, including Excel and XML.
Our data contains sensitive information, so we can't post samples in the Monarch forums. How can we get advice on model-building to help us extract what we need?
The excellent Monarch user forums allow for fragments of plain text reports to be posted, but if you're working with PDF or ODBC sources this isn't practical, and lots of financial, medical and personnel data can't be exchanged in a public forum. Greenbar use secure collaboration from Huddle to allow data to be uploaded safely. Expert model-building, delivered remotely, can help you get your data working quickly.
We've been asked to deliver data as a dashboard, and we have tried in Excel, but we're not happy with the results. How can we reliably develop, automate and deliver dashboard reports that really convey the information the users need?
There's a lot of technology out there that pretends to deliver visual analytics, but very little of it scales well from the desktop to the enterprise, and too much of it delivers unusable, inflexible results. Greenbar can advise on how to prepare and combine data prior to dashboarding, how best to design each component of the dashboard, and how to combine these so that users can instantly understand the data and interactively navigate through it.
