Abstract
A system, method and machine readable medium for the analysis and management of information is described. More specifically, the embodiments o relate to systems and methods for gathering, analyzing and reporting information in a business context. More specifically, the embodiments relate to systems and methods for presenting business metrics to system users in a reliable and efficient manner, including the employment of a data extractor and multiple data storage units arranged to generate reports.
Claims20
A system for monitoring a data metric, comprising:
- a plurality of records relating to a data metric;
- a database for storing at least a portion of information from at least one of the plurality of records relating to a data metric;
- a first data storage unit;
- a second data storage unit;
- an extractor for querying the database for database data relevant to the data metric within a particular time frame and providing query results to the first data storage unit and the second data storage unit;
- wherein the second data storage unit is configured to store the provided query results;
- wherein the first data storage unit is configured to store at most a portion of the provided query results, the at most a portion of the provided query results corresponding to less than all of the query results stored at the second data storage unit;
- and
- wherein the first and second data storage units are used to generate first and second reports regarding the data metric.
A method for allowing monitoring of a data metric, comprising:
- scanning a plurality of records to determine those related to a data metric;
- storing information from at least some of the plurality of records in a database;
- extracting, via a query, information from the database related to the data metric;
- providing the information to a first data storage unit and a second data storage unit
- storing at the second data storage unit the provided information;
- storing at the first data storage unit at most a portion of the provided information, the at most a portion of the provided information corresponding to less than all of the information stored at the second data storage unit;
- generating a report using the first data storage unit;
- and
- generating a report using the second data storage unit.
A machine readable medium with executable program code embedded therein, the code when executed by a processor, performing a method, comprising:
- scanning a plurality of records to determine those related to a data metric;
- storing information from at least some of the plurality of records in a database;
- extracting via a query information from the database related to the data metric;
- providing the query information to a first data storage unit and a second data storage unit;
- storing at the second data storage unit the provided information;
- storing at the first data storage unit at most a portion of the provided information, the at most a portion of the provided information corresponding to less than all of the information stored at the second data storage unit;
- generating a report using the first data storage unit;
- and
- generating a report using the second data storage unit.
