Do
I need to upgrade to CHRIS 5 or CHRIS 21 to use EIS Reporter Central?
Will
the EIS Reporter Central work with CHRIS 21?
Yes. HRIT use the New Reporter Writer in CHRIS ( NW Series ) to write the extracts. It is this report writer that has been carried forward into CHRIS 21.
Do
I need Excel2000 or Excel2002?
Do
I need to take all the Models for EIS Reporter Central solution?
No.
The EIS Reporter Central is a framework where any number of models can be
implemented.
Can
other Models be added at a future date?
Yes.
Through the EIS Reporter Central framework any number of models can be
implemented at any time. The EIS
Reporter Central framework uses pairs of Analysis Objects and Analysis Models.
These can be purchased individually.
Can
the Models only to be distributed as email attachments ?
No.
The EIS Reporter Central framework has the capability of either emailing the
Model as an attachment in the message, or copying the Model to a specified
directory and sending a hyperlink to the model in the message.
Are
the fields in each model fixed?
No.
Each model allows for the addition of a number of additional fields.
Each of the additional fields can be used in the model in the same manner
as the standard fields.
Does
adding additional fields to the model require
programming changes and if we have changes does that mean we can’t get
upgrades?
No.
The EIS Reporter Central framework simply requires that the label for the new
field be described in the user defined table area. These changes have no effect on the Model or the framework so
upgrades to the Models or EIS Report framework can be taken without the need to
redo the changes.
Do
I need to know how to use Excel?
No.
The EIS Reporter Central framework merely uses Excel as the development platform
through which to deliver Management Reporting.
Using the EIS Reporter Central is through a number of application forms
which simply prompt for reponses from the user.
No Excel skill is required. The
models received by the Manager is presented as a number of active reports and
dynamically built graphs. The end
user is only required to drag and drop fields in the active report or use the
filter boxes.
What
exactly does the EIS Reporter Central do?
The
EIS Report Central is a framework which uses a number of Analysis Objects.
Each Object is responsible for delivering a specific Organisational
Analysis based on a business measure. The
Object it self will take the data extracted via the CHRIS Report Writer and then
perform a range of complex calculations to transform that raw data into
meaningful Organisational Measures and Trends.
A number of the more comprehensive models can amalgamate a number of
historical extracts to provide trending information on a range of Organisational
Measures. These include Full Time
Equivalent staff paid by Month and type ( such as Overtime, Absence, Ordinary ),
the Total Staff Costs trended over a range of months as well as
Earnings/Hours/FTE comparisons between any two months with variances.
The
Analysis Objects delivered through the EIS Reporter Central Framework have
mostly been driven though client demand or interest.
What
is HRIT’s long term direction?
It
is HRIT’s long term goal to establish itself as the leader in Management
Reporting and Analysis Consultancy and Solutions in New Zealand whilst
continuing to remain a value added partner to its clients. As with the EIS
Report Central, HRIT will be looking to work closely with its clients on any new
developments to ensure any new solutions will benefit its clients in the daily
and long term management of their businesses.
