Need info on Syte APS and Syte BI

[Chris Kelleher]

Good Morning,
Currently we are looking into SYTE APS and SYTE BI (sytepower) for
our company. We are currently on SL2h00 (progress 8.2), i know we need
to upgrade to SL4.0 and above. I want to know how long it takes to
implement and integrate these products. Any views and experiences about
these products is appreciated (# of consulting hours, hardware requirements,
Pitfalls to watch for).

Thanks in advance.

Regarding Syte BI you'll need several things:

1 - People in your organization that know what kind of data cubes they want
to manipulate, what kind of data they will be looking at, how often they'll
need the data to be up-to-date, and the frequency that they will be
accessing the data for reporting or manipulation purposes.

2 - A person in your organization that can take ownership of the Syte BI
system (an administrator). That person should have a good working knowledge
of the SyteLine database schema and how data is manipulated within the
SyteLine tables. He/she must also provide some user training and assistance
and also make sure the scheduler runs every night without crashing.

3 - Someone with Syte BI experience to come in and train your administrator
and users and set up your basic cubes and queries. This person can also
help you strategize.

It can take a month or many more to get started and it is an ongoing process
to maintain it and add new stuff to it. The data cubes just keep growing
and users want more after they start using it.
