Benefits to IT
RADICALLY IMPROVED DATA QUALITY AND DELIVERY
No more orphaned data in spreadsheets
Clear Analytics is the bridge between the spreadsheet and your data source. Eliminating the repetitive tasks of importing data dumps into spreadsheets, leading to stale and unverifiable numbers.
You get a high degree of context around the information that you are analyzing.
SYSTEMS AND CONTROLS
Clear Analytics radically reinforces Excel with security capabilities commonly found in Enterprise-Level Business Intelligence platforms.
- Centralized access control

This unprecedented level of trace-ability means you can use Clear Analytics for even the most sensitive data uses.
BETTER DATA MANAGEMENT
By keeping a full audit of all queries, reports and activities, IT can identify and inform users who may be impacted by any changes to your data landscape.

- “BI usage” analysis to pinpoint critical reports and users
UNPRECEDENTED SELF SERVICE
