Case Studies: Finance & Investment Management

Interactive visual reporting with live updates

Omniscope brings unprecedented ease-of-use, power and reach to the challenges of managing finance and investment management data in an increasingly web-based world. Omniscope is the first easy-to-use, general-purpose 'hybrid' desktop/web personal data management application with the power to manage large data sets, and the reach to integrate with web-based resources.

Omniscope is ideal for assembling, managing, reporting and publishing the large tables of data characteristic of finance and investment management. Using just one file to gather information, perform analysis and create dynamic, interactive presentations that refresh automatically and can be sent to anyone saves tremendous amounts of time and effort.

Omniscope makes it easy for anyone to:

• import and integrate local systems output, real-time feeds (Bloomberg) and online sources
• refresh/update files on demand throughout the day
• define formulae to manipulate columns like spreadsheets
• quickly find patterns (and exceptions to patterns) in vast quantities of data
• export selected rows and columns of data as new files
• post data to suppliers of supplementary online services
• create easily-refreshed, highly-visual, multi-tabbed dynamic reports containing the data
• Send interactive .IOK files to anyone, print them as static PowerPoint or Acrobat .PDF documents
• Create interactive Flash DataPlayers for insertion in documents and web pages

Many Omniscope features were developed specifically with financial users in mind. For example, Omniscope's ability to export and import securities identifiers using text files makes loading, updating and reporting on securities portfolios very easy. The Bloomberg Connector enables Bloomberg subscribers to refresh data 'on-demand' and export live monitoring spreadsheets that update in real-time. Preconfigured web services available in Omniscope include links to prices and charts from Yahoo Finance, Google Finance, Bloomberg, etc.
