Real Asset Management provides business intelligence software that allows fast, easy access to information about key assets

Real Asset Management (RAM), a specialist provider of fixed asset management software, has partnered with QlikTech, a leader in Business Discovery – user-driven Business Intelligence (BI), to provide organisations with fast, easy access to business-critical information about key assets.

By adding the QlikView Business Discovery platform to its product portfolio, RAM is able to give businesses extended visibility of data about vital assets, enhancing the analysis of the Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) that are essential for making effective business decisions. QlikView takes advantage of pioneering in-memory associative search technology which allows users to explore information freely rather than being confined to a predefined path of questions.

RAM analysed feedback received from existing and prospective customers and identified a requirement for a BI tool that could enhance KPI and Dashboard reporting. Karen Conneely, Group Commercial Manager at Real Asset Management, explains, “We keep in close contact with our customers to ensure that we are meeting and beating their ever-changing requirements and through this process we identified the need for a user-friendly Business Intelligence tool. By adding QlikView to our product suite we now have a very sophisticated BI tool that integrates seamlessly with any asset management system and indeed any finance or ERP software solution on the market, giving businesses a very powerful and flexible analysis and reporting solution.”

John Campbell, Alliance Director UK and Ireland of QlikTech, adds: “Organisations are quite rightly demanding a faster return on investment from software purchases being made in today’s climate which QlikView provides through a rapid implementation period taking weeks as opposed to months. The ability to deliver self-service BI to users whilst freeing up valuable IT resource on tasks such as report writing and cube building is becoming ever more crucial. Real Asset Management can now enable its customers to consolidate relevant data from multiple sources into a single application whilst interacting with dynamic apps, dashboard and analytics to drive innovative decision making.”

Commenting on how the BI tool will enable businesses to analyse and explore their data with unprecedented freedom, Conneely adds, “The software will allow organisations to not only extract data from their existing asset management software but also compare running and maintenance costs of specific assets, a fundamental requirement when establishing true asset value.”

Conneely concludes, “As providers of this outstanding BI tool, RAM is now able to supply existing and prospective customers with a best-in-class discovery software product that allows them to easily retrieve, compare and analyse data and to gain valuable business insight about key assets and other business critical information, irrespective of which software solution they are using.”
