As a market innovator, Softscape has expanded its data warehouse to provide the inherent connections between operational performance, such as sales and financial information, with expanded people management data sets and KPIs. In addition to hundreds of standard reports, Excel analysis templates, a rapid query builder, and drag-and-drop analytic reporting, the new BI engine provides the necessary infrastructure that enable organizations to easily create, manage, share, and analyze information to help leaders make more informed decisions in real-time.
“The need for better Business Intelligence and analytics about your workforce has become a key priority for organizations to manage their human capital effectively,” said Mark Smith, CEO & EVP Research, Ventana Research. “Softscape’s analytic solutions help a broad range of HR executives and managers move towards metric-based operations and management, improve alignment of their efforts to overall business objectives, and enhance transparency, accountability, and compliance.”

Softscape’s Business Intelligence Engine stretches across every data element in the company’s complete HR platform, and leverages the same comprehensive security access rights and rules to ensure the highest level of data security and privacy.
