business intelligence manager (bim)

VIP Business Intelligence Manager (BIM) is a new licenced module which forms part of the integrated suite of VIP products. This reporting solution uses the power of MS Excel as a report writing tool, providing meaningful insight and interpretation of your VIP data.

VIP BIM is an MS Excel rendered Business Intelligence (BI) plug-in to the VIP suite of Payroll applications. Users are provided with a limited sub-suite of Reports that can be modified or customised to suit individual user requirements, in addition to the existing Payroll Reports within the VIP system. VIP BIM is therefore at the core MS Excel using VIP data via the same ODBC connection as is the case with any of the Special Solutions Reports currently available.

It is common knowledge that companies are frustrated with their information management processes - VIP BIM is the solution for you!
