E-mail is today's most frequently-used form of business communication. By reducing costs, accelerating collaboration, and increasing the efficiency and timeliness of decision-making, e-mail has become an integral part of core operations for today's organizations. With e-mail, tethered users with desktops, as well as mobile users with laptops or handheld devices, can instantly receive timely, personalized business information.
WebFOCUS' information management capabilities offer a comprehensive, just-in-time report distribution platform that fully integrates e-mail into the process. With e-mail, users can receive personalized reports on a scheduled basis, or be alerted when data has been changed, so they can fix a problem or take advantage of an opportunity
Real-Time E-mail Alerts
Agility is the key to success in today's fast-paced global business environment. The ability to detect critical events the moment they happen, and react to them in real-time, will create true competitive advantage.
WebFOCUS provides unique dynamic e-mail alert capabilities. Users at all levels can receive instantaneous e-mail alerts when critical events take place or when specific business conditions are met. So, executives, departmental managers, even front-line workers will know immediately when something that can seriously impact the business has happened. As a result, they can take swift action to proactively prevent problems.
Report Distribution Via E-mail
Scheduled e-mail distribution of reports throughout an organization can significantly enhance day-to-day operations. WebFOCUS' report distribution and management capabilities empower businesses to do just that - allowing them to "split" single reports and burst them to users via e-mail according to their role or department. For example, each month regional managers can receive an e-mail with the current sales figures for only their territories. Content can be attached or inline, and be delivered in HTML, PDF, Excel, and other popular file formats. Additionally, multiple documents can be dynamically compressed and packaged into a single file, and sent as an attachment. WebFOCUS also allows users to create custom schedules to receive personalized reports whenever they need them.
Mobile Users and E-mail
The maturity of mobile technologies has empowered users to operate as efficiently outside the office as they do when they are at their desks. WebFOCUS e-mail distribution capabilities let mobile users get the information they need, in the format they want, regardless of their location or time zone.
Since everyone in an organization makes decisions, it is vital to ensure that the information that serves as the basis of those choices is timely, complete, and personalized. WebFOCUS allows organizations to leverage the benefits of e-mail to improve communication and make better, faster, and more informed decisions.
