Guided Intelligence Analytical Server

How does this work?

The Guided Intelligence Analytical Server (GIA Server) is an onDemand Business Intelligence (BI) framework built using a Service Oriented Architecture (SOA). Key elements of the architecture include a Data Extraction Engine (ETL), an Operational Data Store (ODS), an Analytical Reporting Engine (OLAP), and a Dashboard with Monitor and Alert System, all integrated with Web Services.

The GIA Server includes the following components:

• XML Integration Server
• ETL Engine (Extract, Transform, Load)
• Operational Data Store
• OLAP Engine
• Report Engine
• Alert and Monitor Engine
• Management Dashboard

Advantages

• The GIA Server offers real-time enterprise-wide multidimensional analysis with easy-to-use intuitive tools that empower decision makers, with push-button simplicity whenever they require it. The GIA Server can be deployed as a virtual Data Warehousing and Mining solution that can be accessed via an affordable subscription through using the Guided Intelligence ASP, or custom implemented in-house on your own Servers.
• This is the first implementation of BI technology in an onDemand model. Guided Intelligence has also incorporated industry specific pre-defined analytical views into the GIA Server, developed along with and by subject matter experts.
• The primary advantage of the GIA Server is the integration of the key elements required for a BI implementation with web services to integrate all the components in a consistent framework. All this means that a complex BI deployment has been offered seamlessly and completely virtually over the web with no human interaction required.
• Offering the solution onDemand (as an ASP) gives the user the option of paying by the transaction, or signing up for monthly, quarterly or annual subscriptions.
  • This allows for an effective means to introduce BI to the mid-range market, for whom the costs, resource requirements and time-to-market concerns usually makes such solutions cost prohibitive.
  • This presents small and midsized businesses an opportunity to afford and use advanced technologies to get critical insight into their business, in order to better manage, grow and compete in the marketplace.
  • It can incorporate and integrate existing systems, data and environments into the framework, allowing for legacy transition in a phased manner.
    

Innovative components:

Cube-on-Demand™ web service allowing onDemand BI. A user can submit data and return multidimensional data cubes with a warehouse of detailed and aggregated information in an ad-hoc manner, over the Internet, without any requirement for manual intervention.

Web ETL processing allows for submission of data over the web that is automatically transformed into pre-configured source data files as part of the Cube-on-Demand process. In any BI project, ETL usually comprises a major portion of the work required to implement a BI Solution, as it deals with disparate data. This automates that process overcoming many of the hurdles to rapid deployment.

XBRL Mapping and Publishing. As a part of the Web-ETL process, Guided Intelligence has implemented the ability to receive data as XBRL Instance Documents and automatically map them into OLAP Applications (or any other of the GIA Server applications). XBRL is the emerging standard for exchanging financial data between trading partners. Guided Intelligence will also soon be releasing a process to automate the transformation of existing financial statement data into XBRL Instance Documents, offering the first fully automated XBRL tagging Engine.
