2. Introduction
Talvis LLC –independent Software company founded in 2013 by a team of
Finance and Enterprise Performance Management (EPM) professionals.
Our goal is to create amazing technology that improves finance teams’
abilities to respond rapidly to questions, report on finance and business
drivers, and to unlock the information residing in Hyperion or Cognos TM1
OLAP databases.

3. Development history
2014 - Savant 1.0
- mobile app that used voice
recognition and a patented
natural language engine to
translate questions into
Essbase query results.
2017 – Savant 2.0
- desktop program builds on the
natural language engine, adds
artificial intelligence, dashboards,
visualizations, commentary, social
collaboration, and Microsoft
Office integration.
4. Natural language engine
• Most Essbase users struggle with setting up new POV queries because
the data is only loaded in specific intersection points. Users must learn
the navigation and exact spelling of the metadata to get results.
• Savant's patented natural language process lets users ask questions in
conversational English and the program determines the correct
intersection points and delivers the answer in seconds.
5. Artificial Intelligence
Savant 2.0 is not just a BI program, it’s also the newest member of your
Finance team. Savant 2.0 will analyze your business and identify variances
that are driving performance. Savant will learn more about these
variances by reaching out to subject matter experts in your organization.
6. Dynamic Dashboards
Savant 2.0 is built on tiles and dashboards. Queried information is
presented in stunning visualizations and organized in dashboards that can
contain hundreds of charts.
Minutes to Create - build
dashboards in minutes and watch
them grow as more data and
information are added to them.
7. Commentary
Many BI programs let users add commentary to dashboards. However,
only Savant 2.0 merges the qualitative comments to the actual data points
and variances in your OLAP database. This means commentary on the
lowest hierarchy level are viewable and drillable from the most
summarized report.

Many corporations today use OLAP software like Hyperion/Essbase to let
analysts access and analyze their data. However the qualitative
information/analysis is then siloed into individual Excel files, PowerPoint
decks or emails. Savant 2.0 enables teams to share, collaborate and solve
company issues.

users with feedback on their
