Monarch is Windows-based "Report Mining" software that easily extracts data from existing reports produced by any information system, along with easy data analysis, graphing, and exporting of data to other applications such as Excel and Access. Unlike other solutions to access and analyze business data, Monarch requires no programming skills and no assistance from the IT department. Monarch empowers anyone in the organization to access and work with needed data, not just a select group of "power users" with advanced technology skills. Managers, analysts, auditors, accountants and staff workers often find it difficult to get the timely, accurate data they need. They might struggle with a complex report writer or business intelligence tool to pull data from raw corporate databases themselves, or wait for the IT department to build custom reports for them. Such delays to get at needed data cause endless frustration, missed deadlines and lost business opportunities. To avoid such delays, managers and workers often print and flip through thick paper reports run from their ERP system, HR/payroll system, banking, healthcare or government information system, or mainframe system. They then often rekey report data into a spreadsheet or database for analysis. Monarch transforms your existing reports into live, actionable data. This data can be sorted, filtered, supplemented with new calculations, summarized, exported to Excel, Access, etc., all without programming and without help from the IT department.
