So in a nutshell, what do data self analytics delivers ease of use as you could tell, in my first demo I was able to build from scratch something very quickly, very easily, just by pretty much dragging and dropping. So if you can do drag and drop, you can do it. We have the 10 second rule. Every report should run under 10 seconds. Otherwise it's almost worthless. It doesn't matter how much data you have. With our framework, you can give users or the right group of users access anytime and anywhere and it's secured and you control that. In a matter of days, we can deliver over 5,000 reports and dashboards covering pretty much all or most information from your ERP and CRM. So dramatically cutting the time that it takes to get the job done. So these are the things that from a license standpoint, we deliver. So all of the above, we deliver in a matter of days.

I'm going to open the Q and A so if you have questions we'll be addressing so let's see. Yes we have a few questions. First question is from Karen. I'm using SEI for Sage X3 and it's very slow. We have tons of data. Would data self run faster? Karen, thanks for your question. Actually we have many clients that came with us with a similar concern or challenges. They were having SCI running slowly some people complaining was complex and of course we have to always look on a one on one basis what's going on with your system but consistently every client that we embraced that came from a similar challenge we delivered reports running 10 seconds doesn't matter how much ton of data you have. Our system has been designed to run reports in seconds Regardless of how much data you have, regardless if you're bringing multi company if you have two companies, five, 10, 50 or 100 companies doesn't matter Our system deliver things very very quickly. So overall I would say yes our data set will run much faster. I don't know how slow it is but let's talk on a 1:1 basis to see what your scenario is and see if data self is a good fit and if it is I can guarantee you yes it will run fast faster. I don't know how long it's taking but it will run in less than 10 seconds. I hope that's fast enough for you. Another question question from Jack do you support Sage 500? Jack, thanks for your question. Yes we do. Let me actually go here and show you in our website, if you go to the dataself.com and scroll down to these green buttons and click by ERP and CRM, you'll find here all the ERP and CRM systems we support out of the box. So this is the list of ERP and CRM systems and Sage 500. It's right here. So yes, you can click here to learn more about it. Jack, thanks for your question. Question from Mike we're testing Power BI for our dynamics Nav or navision. How does Data Self compare with it? Compare? Mike, you ask him to compare Data Self with Power bi. I get this question a lot. Power BI is a great analytics platform. Let me go back here to the architecture. So Power BI is a kind of head to head competitor with Tableau. So my first consideration in your project is as you starting your BI project with Power BI is just like I was doing before. You know, you're starting with your baby steps. You're using Power BI to probably do some tests, getting some reports and dashboards out if you know a few things, sales, financials, whatnot. But I can guarantee you months out, years out, you're going to be using a full blown bi, maybe with Power BI or not getting data from all over the place. And most likely I can guarantee you you'll need data warehousing, you'll need all this expertise, you'll need time, you'll need everything that I told you about. So first of all, regardless of being Power BI or Data Self in Tableau, I think we should talk because I can give you some pointers on how to make this journey more successful. And if Data Self can help you, boy, I can guarantee you we'll make this much more successful much more quickly. First of all, we can help you any way if you continue with Power BI or not now maybe let me go to my website here. If you go to Resources in demo videos, so go to Resources demo videos or go to our YouTube channel and search for this video here which is called power bi versus tableau. If you go to YouTube and just search for power bi versus tableau and I encourage you to search for Power BI versus Tableau. Clash of the Titans. We have about 13 different videos, short videos that are comparing side by side. Power BI and Tableau. Tableau is our chosen so far analytics platform. Both products are great, but Tableau has been around for much longer, is a more scalable, more functional, so far faster, easier they have been considered the gold standard for analytics for the last five years in a row by Gartner. So I highly encourage you to watch all of these videos. To see or to help you decide if you should continue with Power BI or not. Absolutely. Let's talk. I can also give you some insights based on your own requirements and your own needs and give you a more customized assessment of what should be better for you from our perspective. But overall these are the materials I would recommend and definitely I'll send you an email to get a call so we can discuss your needs in more detail. Mike, thanks for your question. Let's see more questions. I'm going to take one more question because we're starting to run out of time. Question from Olivia how much training is required for data self? Olivia, thanks for your question. Training, so training it depends. We have I'm going to show the extremes and you might fall into any between these two extremes there are data self clients that we deploy the solution. We gave them a little tour for the testing of the data. We showed them our videos, training videos and also tableau tech training videos and they took off and they are doing a lot of things without any training from us. So I don't know how much training they went through using those videos or doing search on the Internet but but there are clients and there are users that will be able to pick up this, they'll be able to become self sufficient without formal training. It's possible. We have many of those clients. On average we budget six hours of training to teach our clients how to use the front end, you know tableau with the out of the box. So on average we always budget six hours. But we also have some clients that want training across everything they data warehousing, data source bi from data sources, tableau server maintenance, tableau customization, security, everything. And for those people training sometimes is an ongoing thing. I mean there's so many things that you can do with it that training is almost like never ending. There's always every few months there's new versions with new features. So it depends where you fall into this wide range of training. The majority of our clients about 60 to 80% 6 hours of training is enough for them to become self sufficient on the user Interface. The other 20, 30% they require more training to do more of the back end. So training ranges from those two ends. Folks, we're running actually out of time. I'm going to be wrapping up right now but I'll be answering other questions that I can tell that there's a few more on a one on one basis. This is my contact information, my cell phone in my email. This video is being recorded. We'll be sending you a copy of the recording later on including the PowerPoint.
