Jedox's trailblazing self-service BI heads for CeBIT 2014

Freiburg, Germany (ots) - Jedox, one of Europe's leading business
intelligence (BI) and performance management (PM) software providers,
is planning to take center stage at CeBIT 2014. It will showcase its
Data First Modeling, whose ability to transform inventory data access
holds enormous potential for companies.

Data First Modeling from Jedox allows users to generate BI and PM
reports directly from inventory data. By letting users skip interim
steps and offering easy access to inventory data, especially from
Excel, it significantly accelerates the process. "With Data First
Modeling, users can analyze data quicker and create what-if scenarios
more easily. Forecasting can be carried out earlier and more
reliably. This is self-service at its purest," explains Jedox CTO,
Matthias Krämer.

Data First Modeling is the latest innovation from Jedox, whose
vision is to transform Excel from one of the most-used tools in the
BI sector into one of its most useful tools, with its easy-to-use
software helping users to improve efficiency. "Data First Modeling
lets even BI novices easily plan across departments, which massively
reduces the total cost-of-ownership of rolling out the software,"
adds Krämer.

Another focal point of the Jedox 2014 CeBIT presence will be
optimized planning. At the trade show in Hannover, Jedox BI experts
will explain how, at the click of a button, users can "lock" and
"unlock" various areas of planning functionality within its software
and optimize their planning processes, such as evaluating revenue
data by country.

Finally, Jedox will present new functionality for predictive
analytics based on the R global programming language and environment.
This predictive analysis functionality allows users to create
forecasts based on inventory data, such as the aggregation of
customer groups for certain criteria.

"We are planning to demonstrate that Jedox is a trailblazer in
self- service BI and Excel optimization. We are looking forward to
showcasing our innovative technology to existing clients and
partners, and potential new ones, at the world's largest IT trade
show", comments Jedox COO, Bernd Eisenblätter.
