At Phocas, we're passionate about helping people feel good about their data. Our software brings together organizations’ most useful data from their business systems and presents it in a way that is easy for anyone to analyze. Building dashboards is straightforward but what sets Phocas apart is its ad-hoc analysis capabilities. Unlike other business intelligence (BI) tools, Phocas makes it easy to seamlessly move from dashboards to underlying transactions data. The user decides how much detail to see and in what format. Phocas simplifies data management through powerful analytics and visualization tools and revolutionizes the way people interact with their own information.
