Queries and reports are at the base of any business application's usability. However, the reality is that users of applications such as Oracle E-Business Suite, PeopleSoft, Siebel, etc. are completely dependent on IT resources for all their query and reporting needs. From adding a column to an existing report to creating a simple query – there's no “do-it-yourself” option. At the same time, IT departments spend much of its personnel time responding to end users' such request. The end result is usually low end user satisfaction at a very high cost. TOPic makes it possible for non-technical users to create unlimited ad hoc queries, reports, and email alerts, from multiple data sources, within hours of installation.
TOPic is a query and data search solution, allowing end users of business applications to retrieve “actionable data” from multiple data sources and based on user defined business rules – deliver this data to the user's desktop or mobile device, and all this without any programming.
TOPic utilizes proprietary technology to deliver a combination of lightning-fast response with extreme ease of use, installation, and maintenance, in an all web-based environment.
