Inquisite's New Reporting Plug-in for Microsoft® Office® Unlocks Critical Business Information
Rapidly Delivers Information To The Right People, Shortens Path To Action
AUSTIN, TEXAS - May 2, 2006 - Inquisite Inc., an online data collection and survey technology provider, today announced the release of the Reporting Plug-in for Microsoft® Office®. The combined functionality of Microsoft Office and the Inquisite application unlocks critical business information, making it immediately available to the people who need it most. The familiar environment of Microsoft Office eliminates the need for learning complex new reporting applications, and dramatically speeds time to action. Business users now have instant access to critical customer and employee information, allowing them to make data-driven, high-impact decisions.
For Automotive Resources International (ARI), a leading global fleet solutions provider specializing in complex car and truck fleets, the Reporting Plug-in is an invaluable add-on module that has saved the company both time and money. "As the largest international, privately held leasing company, customer satisfaction is job number one," said Joe DeCosta, Customer Call Center Supervisor for ARI. "As part of our customer service initiative, ARI creates customized presentations that include a detailed summary of our customers' vehicle usage, expenses, savings, and recommendations to improve their fleet management that until now was time consuming and expensive to produce. Using the Reporting Plug-in we have saved more than half an hour in manpower per survey as we are now able to create sophisticated reports with a few clicks of the mouse, update reports as new survey data becomes available, and administer the data to both the customer and the business users in order to create a better experience."
About The Reporting Plug-in for Microsoft Office
The Reporting Plug-in gives organizations the power to provide employees with the freedom and the ability to build comprehensive reports in PowerPoint® and Excel®, connecting business users at every level to critical information more efficiently.
Key features include:
Customized Reporting
The Reporting Plug-in allows users to create rich, dynamic, and customizable reports, showing only the information they want, in a format that best suits their business needs. Users can create timely content within Microsoft PowerPoint and Excel applications, eliminating the traditional, and cumbersome, process of cutting and pasting data into reports and spreadsheets. Furthermore, the Reporting Plug-in supports an overall survey view that combines various reporting types such as cross-tabulation and frequency distribution.
Simplified Report Creation
An easy-to-use wizard enables users to create powerful reports that automatically extract, organize, and summarize their existing Inquisite survey data. With its built-in ability to build sophisticated cross-tabs, charts, and presentations, the Reporting Plug-in allows business users to report and analyze their data using descriptive statistical analysis without having to become Excel power users.
Built-in Automation
With a few clicks, business users can update an entire report with the latest survey data without having to restart the reporting process. They can set up reports in advance of survey completion and refine or add additional filters, as needed, while continuing to update the information.
On-demand Access
The Reporting Plug-in connects business users at every level of the organization to critical information more efficiently. This comprehensive solution unlocks survey data making it accessible throughout the organization and enabling team members to collaborate more effectively by sharing data in a the most widely-used software format in the corporate world
"Informed decision making is critical to every company that intends to nurture and develop their employee and customer relations. However, the large quantities of business information generated by the modern corporation is often not accessible to the people who really need it, which only serves to complicate the decision making process," said Arturo Coto, CEO of Inquisite. "In order to remain competitive and respond proactively to changing business conditions, business analysts and decision makers throughout the organization need immediate access to customer and employee feedback that is often locked up in departmental data silos. The Reporting Plug-in for Microsoft Office is the latest in our ongoing commitment to help our customers put the right information into the hands of the right users in order to significantly enhance their customer loyalty and employee retention initiatives."
