CIMS Vision. (Data News and Products).

The new release of Prologic's CIMS Vision, an Oracle-based Business Intelligence solution, is specifically designed for the fashion and lifestyle environment.

By adopting an integrated approach to system design, Prologic can, it is claimed deliver a real-world off-the-shelf business intelligence and data warehousing tool that requires no configuration. There are no software interfaces between different systems and no SQL scripts to write. BI solutions are traditionally based on a best-of-breed approach. This means back end systems (e.g. inventory, PoS, merchandising etc) are interfaced to a 3rd party business intelligence tool. This approach inherently limits flexibility and system performance. Typically, over 80% of most reporting projects is devoted to preparing data before it can be usefully presented solution,

CIMS Vision, inverts this equation by integrating data across the business at a fundamental level. This eliminates the need for interfaces and provides access to data, presented in ways that are naturally meaningful to all classes of user. Vision delivers hundreds of predefined dimensions and measures focused completely on the reporting needs of the fashion and lifestyle sector. The result is that almost every reporting need in any format can be met right across the business. This new approach offers Prologic customers flexibility, delivering, for example, key performance reports to board level management, while at the same time giving operational access to information right down to colour/size level.
