Decision analysis is a general phrase describing the broad application of modeling and simulation techniques for improving decision-making. DataGenic's decision support system software makes it possible for you to apply decision analysis techniques throughout your organisation to problems ranging from simple projects to enterprise-wide strategic plans.

DataGenic's decision support system software offers a structured framework for improving the quality, reliability and timeliness of decisions: analysing alternatives using modelling and simulation techniques; automating routine decisions using expert system technology; and improving the assimilation and effectiveness of reports.

Business improvement is all about working smarter. DataGenic offers a state-off-the art system to help your business operate intelligently.

OnLine Analytical Processing (OLAP)

Fully embedded in Genic DataManager V3.0 Editions, Genic OLAP cubes offer a multidimensional analytics and reporting engine, allowing sophisticated and flexible queries. Using mouse drag and drop, Genic OLAP makes it easy to produce multiple reports and analytics on any time series and associated data properties (meta or reference data).

Business Application

Easily define a multidimensional model with analytic calculations
Productively deliver rich analytics to any reporting and analysis tool using simple SQL
Transparently improve summary queries against tables using cube-based materialized views
Combine OLAP data with any other data in your Oracle Database - including spatial, data mining, XML, documents and more
Leverage your existing Oracle Database expertise and software investment

Artificial Intelligence

Turbulent economic and regulatory environments force enterprises to adapt to more rapid change in areas that once were quite stable. Enterprises that can rapidly adapt will have a competitive advantage. To help achieve this advantage, DataGenic have introduced a powerful addition to the decision support framework, Genic IntelliGence, an Expert System.

As a major application of Artificial Intelligence and a powerful addition to the decision support framework, Genic IntelliGence provides structure and strategy for complex problem solving whilst improving the efficiency of your key business processes. It offers high-end, dynamic, automated decision-support system with extremely sophisticated analytic capabilities. Genic IntelliGence act as intelligent assistant to human experts or serve as a resource to people who may not have access to an expert within your organisation.

Client and Server Actions

Client Side Actions: VBA

Most database applications provide some form of query or expression-oriented language, allowing the user free-form interaction and manipulation with the Database. However, invariably, the language is proprietary in nature, with a steep learning curve and heavy support requirement. DataGenic wanted to move away from anything proprietary. That included the database environment, the operating system, the application server, and the user interactive language. Our conclusion? Offer fully integrated Visual Basic for Applications (VBA), client side actions.

Used by millions of users worldwide, VBA is functionally rich and extremely flexible: Additionally, there is usually client in-house expertise and a comfort factor of knowledge. DataGenic extend the power of VBA by providing a .NET API to access Genic DataManager via our web services layer.

Any VBA (or Action) can be imposed on a Template or User Defined Group. Additionally, all VBA code is saved on the Genic DataManager server (acting as a source-safe) and any changes are recorded, versioned and reported. Users also have the ability to roll-back to previous versions.

Business Application

Custom Reports
Complex data aggregations
Profitability analysis

Server Side Actions: Java

Client side actions are powerful and a welcome addition to the decision support framework for many users. However, some actions are best performed on the server, utilising server processing power whilst ensuring a more robust, controlled and centralised environment.

Using Java, users can write the code from their computer whilst code execution will be on the server side. Similar to client side actions using VBA, any action can be imposed on a Template or User Defined Group. Additionally, all Server Actions are saved on the Genic DataManager server (acting as a source-safe) and any changes are recorded, versioned and reported. Users also have the ability to roll-back to previous versions. Additionally, there is the ability to easily utilise the full suite of Genic DataLibrary functions within the server action.
