Data Manager Data Manager is a powerful tool built to collect all business and channel information from any and multiple source location(s).
Once the data has been received it is compressed, optimised, encrypted and undergoes integrity testing before storing in either a client or Vigilmetrics (SaaS) data warehouse. Data collected can be sanitised for further use in performance reporting – whether this is one of the Vigilmetrics solutions or an existing system a client has. The advantages you will enjoy by using Data Manager are:
Data collection is possible from multiple locations. There are no restrictions in platforms or formats from which data can be collected. Data once received can be sanitised or altered to fit the format required for eventual performance reporting. Part of this process can be compression, filtering and categorising of data. Data collection can be scheduled at the most convenient times when no unnecessary load is placed upon the crucial business infrastructure during the work day. Built-in intelligence to know when data is complete and for how long it should try to gather missing pieces. Ideal ETL and data gathering tool to compliment any existing data warehouse systems you have in place. Vigilmetrics or any other performance reporting tool can be integrated with Data Manager to present reports to business.

InfoView Manager InfoView Manager with its powerful data visualisation capabilities can be used to display important company or promotional information.
Information from disparate data sources can be combined to create at-a-glance insight. With powerful data visualisation capabilities you can communicate to your staff or customers in the remotest or access restricted locations through TV screens. With an accompanying content manager set-up we can help you manage what gets displayed, when and in the correct sequence – tailored to your selected audience. InfoView Manager can be as diversely deployed from a control room or a manufacturing plant to display work and project status, safety advice and tips, and video clips - to the other extreme where you are communicating to customers in a retail store; or a reception area; or to staff in a call centre.

Spreadsheet Reporting Spreadsheet Reporting is widely used by clients who have a myriad of performance spreadsheets they updated on a regular basis. Spreadsheet Reporting collates information gathered from various spreadsheets and presents improved reporting with integrity.
While they may be constantly encouraged to pursue good data governance and stick to a source or centralised system, the temptation is too great for users to turn to the simplicity and manageability of spreadsheets. The Spreadsheet Reporting tool allows you to turn these manually, and sometimes quite complex spreadsheets into simple, flexible and effortless Intelligent Reporting! Spreadsheet Reporting will formalise your spreadsheet data and improve your reporting integrity. We propose a 5 stage ‘data life cycle’ to achieve this migration from spreadsheet anarchy to Intelligent Reporting! The 5 C’s of Vigilmetrics Spreadsheet Reporting are:
Create – use spreadsheets as a reporting creation tool Capture – centralise and formalise the report data Clean – sanitise the data to ensure it conforms to requirements and parameters Collate – before publishing your data make sure all different sources have been gathered Channel - display the data through any interface or reporting channel you desire i.e. dashboards, scorecards, reports etc.
