NGC® Brings Powerful New Analytic and Reporting Capabilities To Its PLM, Global Sourcing and ERP Solutions

NGC (New Generation Computing® ) introduced ARMS (Analytics and Report Management Software), a decision support and information management tool that brings new power to custom reporting, data mining and analytics for NGC’s e-PLM® , e-SPS® , RedHorse® and other Global Enterprise System software.

ARMS puts powerful, flexible and easy-to-use information management and reporting capabilities in the hands of the user community. It works with all NGC Global Enterprise System software – e-PLM, e-SPS for global sourcing and visibility, RedHorse ERP and others – simplifying and centralizing access to the vast amounts of information contained in NGC software. Custom reports and analytic templates that would otherwise take hours to program can be created and shared in minutes throughout the enterprise – delivering powerful business insight while saving time and money.

ARMS utilizes popular technologies such as Microsoft Excel spreadsheets and pivot tables, Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services and Crystal Reports. Casual or novice users can create and modify their own reports with minimal training or IT support, while expert users can perform sophisticated Business Intelligence and data mining activities. These advanced capabilities increase business insight and take productivity to a new level.

ARMS helps NGC customers make money by:

• Enabling better and faster executive decisions with “intelligent business information” from vast data sources.

• Providing secure global access to critical business information, combined with powerful analytics and reporting.

• Allowing users to share ideas and best practices throughout the organization.

ARMS helps NGC customers save money by:

• Utilizing comprehensive pre-configured data marts to reduce the knowledge required to assemble data from multiple but related complex business applications.

• Lowering the cost of creating custom reports by reducing or eliminating the need for custom programming.

• Leveraging existing IT applications and familiar technologies, minimizing the need to train staff.
