Financial Data Analysis by Jedox event in Singapore

Jedox is an Excel based financial planning software. Financial data is often difficult to audit and unreliable because of ineffective controls in Excel. The issues surface in overworked teams, manually reconciling data scattered across multiple systems and countries. Traditional BI/PM software needed specialised technical teams to develop and maintain them. Waterfall implementations meant Finance filled out requirement documents, explained basic finance concepts to the technical team - and then waited for the result. The business process (that Finance was still ultimately responsible for) was no longer under Finance’s control. To manage this, agile companies adopt the Jedox Suite. Jedox gives you unified planning, consolidation and reporting in one intuitive solution.

Knowledge Management Solutions, an authorized Jedox partner in Singapore, is having a free event to introduce this great platform to finance specialists in Singapore at 3pm - 5pm, on 28th August 2015. The address of this free Jedox event is Singapore Management University 60 Stamford road
Singapore, 178900.

For more details and registration, please visit Register for Jedox Finance Data Analysis event. Watch a short video of Jedox below to see the capabilities.

OEE Analysis Dashboard by QlikView

Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) provides an overall measure of performance for a process. Developed by Seiichi Nakajima in the 1960s to evaluate how effectively a manufacturing operation is utilized, OEE is commonly used as a key performance indicator (KPI) in conjunction with lean manufacturing efforts to provide an indicator of success.

OEE Analysis Dashboard by QlikView is a rare freely available business intelligence example which provides a performance overview for manufacturing, provide diagnostic capabilities in order to improve performance over time to understand the current level of performance:

  • What is it getting better or worse? 
  • Why is my performance at its current level? 
  • What are the drivers behind the performance? 
  • By machine, By cell, By time period? 
  • What resources do I invest where to have the biggest impact?

The application sits on top of a shop floor data collection system and would contains information about the performance of shop floor equipment, including the number of pieces produced, hours of runtime and downtime and causes for downtime.


OEE Calculation  formula is Availability x Performance x Quality:

  • Availability is a measure of how much the process is available vs how much time it was supposed to
  • be available, it is measured as (actual uptime)/(scheduled run time)
  • Performance measures how fast the process runs, it is measured as (pieces produced per unit time) /
  • (standard rate for process)
  • Quality measures the quality of the process, it is typically measured as first pass yield: (Good pieces
  • on first try – no rework) / (total pieces input to process)

Microsoft Power BI Desktop

Microsoft’s cloud-based business analytics tool, Power BI, came out with a brand new addition in late July 2015, Power BI Desktop. Officially named Power BI Designer, this free desktop tool aims business analysts and can be used to analyze data in a wide range of data sources. Power BI is also capable of ETL (Extract, Transform & Load) and can cleanse, transform and model interrelationships between the data; explore the resulting mashed up datasets.

Microsoft Power BI Desktop can create interactive reports and dashboards with simple drag and drops and these reports can then be published to the Power BI service for use by end users.

As Microsoft announced earlier in 2015, users will be able to choose between two versions of Power BI – a free service and a paid one (Power BI Pro), which comes with additional features and data capacity, costing US$9.99 per user per month.

Microsoft indeed has a very powerful platform offering for business intelligence but it has been relatively weak in presentation layer of BI. The new Power BI Desktop, which also first time in Microsoft's BI journey freed presentation from MS Excel, may well change that. Power BI online services are also quite easy to use. You can setup an account with your work email and immediately enjoy free services. Paid service as seen above is also not expensive and only comes at US$9.99 per user per month.

Currently the platform is only on cloud and no option to install it in-house. This will definitely prevent a lot of companies to seriously adapt it but its free entry price, ease of use and minimum setup requirements, it will probably be a very powerful cloud based self-service BI platform.

You can watch a 3 minutes Getting Started with the Power BI Desktop below.

How Qlikview works?

The core feature of QlikView is an in-memory, associative data model which feeds the visualization in a very unique way. In a traditional business intelligence application, the data visualization layer interacts with data through queries which are basically scripts executed by the platform. So if you for example select a country to drill-down to the sales numbers in that country, the data visualization layer runs a script, queries the data, retrieves the data from the data layer and updates the charts and reports in the screen.

QlikView on the other hand do not use this query mechanism. Application and data layer are tightly integrated in QlikView and data relationships are handled in engine level not application level. This means the QlikView charts and reports are integrated with in-memory data model and they know how to filter themselves when user drills down.

The mechanism above help QlikView developers to write significantly less software scripts which shortens the development and makes maintenance easy. Plus, in-memory integration of QlikView application layer and data model enables fast execution which usually eliminates the necessity to aggregate the operational data for performance reasons.

Credit Risk Management Dashboard Demo by QlikView Business Intelligence Platform

Business and risk have always been seen to go hand-in-hand and the need for banks to strengthen their risk management framework is vital. Exposing the true risk profile to the users has been a challenging business problem due to multiple data sources and differences in operational processes and metric definitions.

To mitigate this situation, a financial institution should provide a holistic view of the risks faced by the organization at any point in time. When up-to-date information on risks can be analyzed and put at the users fingertips, firms will inevitably find it easier to maximize profit AND reduce risk.

The purpose of the Credit Risk Management demo is to illustrate how QlikView can be used by a
financial institution to manage credit risk. By providing a unified picture to the entire business, QlikView helps everyone have the same, up to date, picture of their risk exposure instead of disparate spreadsheets floating around the business. Credit Risk data is also interesting to the entire Business, not only the Credit Analysts. Are we pricing the products correctly? Are we in compliance with regulations? Should we continue to do business in a specific market or geographic segment? These are all questions that could be asked against Credit Risk data.

QlikView Credit Risk Management Dashboard application is designed to cover the following main analysis areas:
  • Exposure Concentration Analysis (Exposure : The total amount of credit extended to a client by the lending company)
  • Correlation Analysis
  • Probability of Default (PD) Analysis (The likelyhood that a borrower will default on their loans)
  • Exposure Comperison
  • Capital Allocation Modeling
The application allows you to load your own data. If you download the zip file below, you will see a RiskData Excel file in it. You can input your data in this format by simply opening Credit Risk Management Dashboard app and selecting File > Reload.

You can access the application by following the below links:
