CXO System 3.0 now enables enterprise organizations leveraging .NET to quickly and cost effectively support real-time reporting and access to information via executive dashboards.
Web services is enabling faster and more efficient transfer of data throughout the enterprise. CXO Systems provides a complete Web services-based application that empowers business executives with a single and real-time view of enterprise information. Until recently, executives and IT departments believed this level of visibility would be too costly and require cumbersome integration. Combining the power of Windows and .NET Web Services with CXO System 3.0 makes this visibility a reality.
CXO Systems’ ability to bring together information from disparate financial, analytical, and operational data sources, and present that information in consumable dashboards provides enterprises with a solution that addresses current needs given increased information regulation and compliance issues.
“Microsoft is pleased to welcome CXO Systems into the .NET Connected Logo program” said Lynn Cafferty, Program Manager within Microsoft’s Platform Strategy and Partner Group. “By building upon the Microsoft Platform and .Net, CXO enables businesses to flexibly integrate information that can provide them with significant competitive advantage while continuing to leverage their infrastructure to the greatest possible extent.”
Web Services provides the technology to make delivering distributed intelligence to the executive desktop seamless and cost effective. CXO System 3.0 reduces the cost of report generation by 70 percent by putting the power of dashboard reporting in the hands of business and IT managers. The CXO Studio enables business executives to customize and manage their own dashboards, and also gives executives the power of a database administrator in an easily digestible reporting format.
The .NET-connected version of CXO offers enhancements made possible by fully utilizing the Web services system libraries of the Microsoft .NET Framework. The benefits of this newly available 3.0 product include greater visibility via dashboards for executives, greater security facilities and smooth upgrades. The .NET Framework is an integral Windows component that enables building and running the next generation of software applications and Web services.
“Microsoft is the de-facto standard in which to build Web services based applications” said Malcolm Frank, CEO of CXO Systems. “We are delighted to join with Microsoft in developing and deploying next generation visibility applications targeted to senior managers, who otherwise do not have easy access to this level of business information in real-time.”
With brands sold in 180 markets around the world, British American Tobacco is the world’s most international tobacco company. Its executives demand real-time visibility of enterprise information when making important business decisions and as a result the company is already leveraging the CXO Systems dashboard solution.
“CXO Systems to us, represented the first business application we had seen that met our unique visibility requirements across our distributed global operations,” said Kevin Poulter, application technology manager at British American Tobacco. “Its partnership with Microsoft strengthens our belief in its technology and business roadmap.”
