arcplan products enable you to deploy business intelligence and analysis applications that meet all of your organizational needs. Our open approach to data connectivity provides direct access to more than 20 data sources in their native environments. arcplan does not require you to extract your data and aggregate content into a proprietary data source. Instead, arcplan Enterprise and our other business intelligence products connect directly to numerous relational and multidimensional data sources, like SAP BW, SAP R/3, Oracle, Oracle (Hyperion) Essbase, Oracle (Hyperion) Enterprise, IBM DB2, Microsoft SQL Server and other prominent databases.

arcplan's software provides the broadest capabilities and greatest flexibility so that IT can truly minimize the dependency on multiple vendors while delivering to the needs of the business community through the following products:

arcplan Enterprise - arcplan's core enabling platform for building non-compromising BI and analytic applications. arcplan Enterprise includes the following components:

• arcplan Analytic Services – The web services component for deploying applications within an SOA (Service-Oriented Architecture) environment
• arcplan Application Designer – The simple-to-use IDE offers even entry-level programmers or skilled business users the ability to build and deploy applications significantly faster than the majority of other BI solutions
• arcplan Administration Console – The arcplan module for publishing applications and enabling widespread access through the end-user's browser, desktop, or company portal

arcplan Edge - arcplan's enterprise budgeting, planning, and forecasting platform that combines powerful and centralized Excel templates with web-based reporting, dashboards, and workflow. arcplan Edge offers an intuitive, familiar interface for those responsible for the budgeting process, while automating the typically time and labor intensive budget consolidation process.

• Streamline planning cycles and improve the accuracy of forecasting and reporting across your entire organization.
• Address the complexities of your business while allowing different stakeholders to work in familiar web-based and Excel environments.
• Experience built-in functionality for workflow, scorecards, reports, spreading and allocation, integrated supporting detail, commentary, user management, entity management, and historical comparisons.

arcplan Excel Analytics – Extends the value of arcplan Enterprise deployments, providing ad-hoc analysis capabilities across multiple data sources in a familiar Microsoft Office environment. Easily scalable across the enterprise as Excel Add-In, it empowers users to further analyze corporate data and write back to the original data sources as needed, while maintaining the security and centralized control demanded by IT.
