Traditional business intelligence is data-centric – you move the data to a single place to be used for analysis. With arcplan it is different! arcplan Enterprise quickly and directly accesses all of your data with arcplan Communication Interfaces (see table below), regardless of how and where data is stored. More importantly, your questions don't need to be limited to which system the data are stored in; you focus on the performance of the organization, not the data.
With an arcplan-based approach to enterprise performance management, you achieve:

• Support of full processes – without analytical 'blind spots'. Drill into any system from any system to get answers without manual intervention.
• Real-time access and understanding – Access strategic, tactical and operational layers of your business to understand how your processes are performing and their strategic impact.
• Speed of delivery and adaptability to change – Avoid unnecessary data movement to deliver business intelligence in record time, and respond to new IT systems, mergers and acquisitions, and reorganization without downtime.

arcplan clients access more data sources than any other BI tool, according to the independent BI Survey 8 (2009). arcplan Enterprise enables your BI solutions to do more than access different data sources, you interact with them, querying and analyzing across different data sources and performing write-back when permitted by the source system.
