Databeacon Open Client for Linux
Databeacon Open Client for Linux gives Linux-based organizations the ability to easily publish and disseminate self-serve explorable Web reports and data analysis via intranets, extranets or the public Internet — enabling better business decisions by operational managers everywhere.

Interest and demand for Linux is accelerating within Mid-market organizations as more of them adopt the operating system for its perceived superiority in reliability and security, as well as lower I.T. costs.

Quickly deliver actionable information to meet the
decision support needs of operational managers

Databeacon Open Client for Linux
For Linux users, Databeacon Open Client Standard offers a single, infinitely tailorable interface that can match the needs and skills of every user. I.T. administrators and report authors can define experience levels — through GUI design or dynamic program control — to create highly personalized reports. I.T. can also allow the individual operational manager to choose the level of interface that they prefer for any particular session (Novice, Intermediate, Advanced). Independent of choice, the Open Client Standard’s Databeacon Insight viewer is easy-to-learn and use, providing fast time to results.

Databeacon Open Client Standard also enables collaboration, giving organizations the ability to publish and disseminate live Web Reporting and Data Analysis to a large number of people over the Internet, allowing them to share data and specific insights within self-defined workgroups. For example, a sales manager could collaboratively work with other executives to report and analyze closed deals and pipeline numbers, while at the same time host a completely separate workgroup where marketing analysts explore trends and purchasing patterns. Each workgroup collaborates within their own report space, totally independent of other groups.

Databeacon Open Client products support client-side reporting and data analysis, allowing the operational manager to ‘Work Offline…’, disconnect from the Internet and continue the analysis of their Web reports on an anytime, anywhere basis. The Databeacon Insight viewer will save a local copy of the published data, along with a copy of the Databeacon Insight viewer itself (which was also downloaded from the Web server).
