Pro BI draws information from your system database to model and build Power Cubes ("Cubes").The cubes allow users to engage in multidimensional analysis of their data by using point-and-click and drag-and-drop functionality to create dynamic, interactive reports. Three simple but powerful capabilities allow users to analyze data from any point of view:
- Drill down –Gain fast answers to key information by easily moving from one level to the next
- Slice-and-dice–Interactively explore data in any combination, from every conceivable angle
- Graphical analysis–Choose from a wide range of graphical displays, making it easier to spot trends and understand the key factors driving the business
