Combine access to critical analytical and reporting needs using the power of Microsoft Office
Bracknell, UK – January 30, 2006 – Information Resources, Inc., the leading global provider of enterprise market information solutions for the fast moving consumer goods (FMCG), retail and healthcare industries continue to increase their technology portfolio with the launch of PlusSuite 2.2, a powerful Online Analytical Processing (OLAP) tool for performing ad hoc queries and creating enterprise reports from within the confines of Microsoft® Office.
PlusSuite consists of two applications, XLeratePlus and PowerPlus. Together they streamline the labour intensive, time consuming process of creating ready-to-use, meaningful reports and presentations. These applications can be run independently or in unison to provide a complete reporting and presentation package.
This new product from IRI will empower users with a high degree of flexibility to explore information and build insightful, multi-dimensional reports.
The IRI selector can be used directly within the familiar tools of Microsoft Excel and PowerPoint improving personal productivity, while access to other data sources allows users to enrich reports with external information.
“PlusSuite will enable our clients to make better and faster decisions by having access to the right information in the right format in a fraction of the time” says Stuart Sadler, Product Manager. “It will help to simplify critical performance analysis and drive core business performance.”
