Leaders need information at their fingertips—in the office, at
home and on the road. Using data integrated from across the
organization centralized in a web-based portal,
KnowledgeEdge tells you what you need to know, wherever
you are. It becomes the single source of truth.
KnowledgeEdge provides you with access to actionable
information. As a result, you can focus on answering
questions through analyzing information rather than
spending valuable time and resources tracking down
data. You can monitor the effectiveness of management
practices and productivity indicators using data such as
turnover rates, absenteeism, and budget variance, as
well as obtain valuable insight regarding patient and
staff satisfaction.
Brings a rapid and measurable
return on investment.
Because KnowledgeEdge contains pre-built dashboards,
reports, and applications, once you’ve loaded your data
into the data model, you gain immediate insight for a
quick ROI. In fact, depending upon the size of your
organization and your situation, KnowledgeEdge can often
be up and running significantly faster than if you built an
EDW in-house.
