WO Analytics uses advanced interactive visualization technology, a pre-built scalable data warehouse and sophisticated pre-built valuable dashboards to enable clients to rapidly create, monitor and improve their Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) and significantly improve their bottom line.

It is a common challenge today for large companies to unlock the business value in the data they have residing in multiple systems across their operations.

With WO Analytics, media executives can analyze the profitability of key programs, do a deep analysis of buying patterns of top advertisers, view the average unit rate spread for high-value programming, analyze pre-empts and makegoods, and most importantly, detect patterns in their data to improve the profitability of their business. WO Analytics is a turnkey solution that can be installed and configured in a matter of weeks to surface  multi-source data in easy-to-understand, customizable, web-enabled dashboards and reports. This will  provide clients with new insight that they can use to optimize their revenue and minimize operational  costs.

WO Analytics includes:

 Tablet and web-friendly secure distribution mechanism for reports and dashboards

 An analytics-friendly, performance-tuned, broadcast-specific data mart

 All backend tools and scripts necessary to manage and load data

 Powerful, easy-to-understand reports and dashboards that can surface cross-divisional KPIs and

allow drill-down to source causes

 WideOrbit Data Explorer, an easy-to-use, cutting-edge authoring tool that allows business users

to create or revise any dashboard—without IT intervention.

WO Analytics delivers seamless integration with WideOrbit’s core solutions: WO Traffic, industry-leading sales, traffic and billing solution; WO CRM and WO Proposal, sales and account management solution; and WO Program, comprehensive solution for managing program acquisitions, rights, scheduling and finance.

“I am thrilled to utilize my experience in Business Analytics and Pricing to help bring high-value solutions that provide new business insight to WideOrbit clients,” said Vijay Kumar, Vice President of Engineering at WideOrbit. “Whether it’s advanced interactive data exploration, predictive analytics or optimization, there are many challenges to be solved in the rapidly changing media industry.
