TGI's Decision Support System Links Warehouse and Conceptual
Business Framework
According to Rebecca Gill, Vice-President with TGI Ltd., "TGI
closes the loop on information delivery with Enterprise DSS.
Enterprise DSS is a Decision Support System that is integrated
with TGI's Enterprise 21 ERP software package." Enterprise DSS
runs in a windows compliant graphical, client-server
environment, and consists of three primary components: * A Data
Warehouse, which is seamlessly integrated into the Enterprise 21
ERP software system * A Metadata (or data about data) interface
which acts as the link from the warehouse and the conceptual
business framework to the DSS application * A powerful Windows
compliant DSS engine Enterprise DSS provides over 1300 views
into the Enterprise 21 data. The information is presented in
various chart and columnar formatted "views". Gill notes,
"Because of its design, Enterprise DSS provides unmatched ease
of use. Users simply chose from a list of filters (data
selection criteria) base upon organizational, product, customer,
geography, or time and then "drag" the appropriate filter
combinations onto the desired report."
By clicking on the output format icon, the user can easily
control the format in which data are presented. Data can be
viewed in graphical, chart, map, or alert (management by
exception reporting) presentations methodologies. Data are
easily exported to a variety of Windows-compliant word
processing and spreadsheet packages. Enterprise DSS offers
sophisticated drill-down, alert, and report stacking
functionality. The client organization's product,
organizational, and marketing structures are automatically
embedded into Enterprise DSS, offering a tailored, ready-to-use
Decision Support System. Unlike traditional Executive
Information Systems, Enterprise DSS is geared towards providing
information to multiple management levels and insures that
user's at all organizational levels see the same information.
