Congratulations on your purchase of Plato Analysis!

 

In a world of audits and surveys by anyone and everyone, the targeted industries are left with few tools to collect the pertinent data needed to address the audit or survey. Most facilities struggle with lengthy and costly system integrations to get at their data, or simply try to get by with creating something to work the data themselves. Usually, this involves the facility’s Information Systems’ time and expense as well as the time and expense associated with the vendor whose software hosts the desired data. Commonly used tools such as Microsoft’s Excel or Access have functional limits and rarely do the job to the full extent of what is needed.

 

After listening to frustrated customers tell us of limitations they have with current tools, CPR Technologies presents “Plato Analysis”, a unique aggregation and analytical tool for the analysis of data. Plato Analysis is designed such that it provides a simplistic interface for the average user in that they can mine disparate databases often with little or no technical help. Make no mistake, however. Plato Analysis is able to meet the rigors of the sophisticated decision support person as well.
