Delivering Rich Business Intelligence

From Poor to Rich

The shortcomings to the old school data-gathering process are obvious: It is slow, leaves room for human error and data inaccuracy, and presents a very low-tech way to distribute data within our very high-tech times.

In our case, the solution to our problem had to meet several key requirements:

• The application would have to eliminate the "busy work" associated with the existing business process.
• The application must integrate into our existing processes and technical systems.
• The scorecard must be easy to view on a variety of devices.
• The application would need to provide real-time access to our most current data.
• The application must be secure.
• The application must be easy to maintain and enhance through ongoing revisions.
• The application must be able to run in "offline" mode, so that users can access the data they need when they are working without network connection at home or on the road.

Based on these requirements, we chose the Flex platform for the development of our software system. In the following section, we will look at each of these requirements as they relate to developing Flex-based solutions and explain how the Flex platform meets each of these requirements.
