Phocas, a provider of business intelligence software (BI), has launched browser-based mobile version of its Professional suite Xpress.
Phocas said that its new offering Xpress can be installed as a standalone offering or as an add-on to the Professional suite, and can be accessed from any PC or mobile device. It provides rapid access to pre-defined BI reports, favourites, alerts and dashboards without having to rely on IT support.
The company said that its browser-based mobile version offers an optional "Reporting Services" module to generate dashboards and KPI indicators. It also includes Management Studio tool that allows control over what data employees, suppliers or customers have access to.
In addition, Xpress harnesses Microsoft SQL server and Microsoft IIS server technology to offer password-protected security. It directly integrates into the range of Dynamics products, and provides support for a range of ERP and CRM offerings from other vendors.
Paul Magee, managing director of Phocas, said: "As well as deployment across the enterprise, Phocas Xpress can be rolled out to a company’s supplier base and even their customers, to allow for transparent data during collaboration.
"Phocas Xpress contains predefined reports and dashboards but this is just the starting point of its value. It also gives users the opportunity to perform lateral analysis, all within the browser window."
