Opinions on Rocket Discover

Bruce Philp, Senior Services Consultant, Meier Business Systems (MBS), says:

“Rocket Discover’s out-of-the-box features are impressive and quite easy to use.  Everything has been smoothly integrated into the U2 and D3 databases, including the speed at which Discover imports data. Even the Metadata Manager, which lets you manage and control file dictionaries, is easy to install, setup and use. MultiValue end users are going to be delighted by how simple it is to create dashboards that reflect previously untapped business critical MV data with Rocket Discover.”

As a self-service BI solution, Discover enables executives and business users to experience a hands-on approach to BI exploration and visualization. Discover’s intuitive drag-and-drop interface simplifies and speeds data analysis while reducing reliance on IT personnel.

Julianna Cammarano, Director of BI Product Marketing at Rocket Software, says:  

“Rocket Discover is the future for MultiValue customers because it seamlessly combines collaboration and business intelligence.  The MV Metadata Manager for Discover dramatically simplifies how MV data is transformed into business consumable information. The resulting visual images, diagrams, and graphs empower business users to drill into their data and explore the trends that help them make more informed business decisions. Because Discover uniquely allows business users to combine their MV data with all of their enterprise data, they get a 360-degree view of the business so that every decision is the right one.”
