Eclipse Information System Overview

The Eclipse Information System (EIS) is a fully integrated, online analytical processing (OLAP) companion product that gives you a real-time, graphical representation of your sales and purchasing business data. You get instant access to multi-dimensional data that lets you quickly identify valuable business trends. You can examine your business data from a "Top-10" summary perspective, or drill down to the transaction level and analyze your data in greater detail.

Each evening the inventory, sales, and purchasing data is collected in EIS. This data is then available for you to evaluate and graph, to share or distribute, as needed. You can run extensive searches on data without sending requests to dynamic information, thereby speeding up the search process. In addition, when the build runs each evening, the data is added to the current information so that the information is comprehensive and not just a snapshot of a day.
