webKPI Press Release
Announcing the Formation of webKPI, LLC
San Ramon, CA, July 9, 2007 - Steve Sweeney, founder of Advanced Database Designs and Steve Peterson,
a senior financial officer for public companies and internet start-ups announced today the formation of webKPI, LLC.
webKPI delivers Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) reporting to executives, business professionals,
business owners, investors, board of directors, lenders, coaches and the accounting and finance teams who require
timely financial reporting, yet do not have the time, tools or expertise to extract and display meaningful results
from today's complex accounting systems. Gone is the delay from having to crunch data in Excel before financial
reports can be produced and distributed. Now, financial data can be shared on the web in minutes and the user is
assured the latest up-to-date information without having to worry about Excel formula errors or distribution issues.
Printing, copying, handling and distributing a myriad of reports is no longer required. When errors are detected or
adjustments are made, there's no need to secure the return of or the disposal of Excel files, online reports or paper
copies that need revising, and then go through the whole printing and delivering process again.
The tight integration to the financial software solution is provided by a webKPI Link which exports a snapshot of
the current financials to a secure web browser. The transfer of data from financial system to webKPI takes minutes,
providing immediate access to the latest financial results. Then webKPI provides clients the ability to use their web
browser to access a simple yet powerful dashboard of financial and operational metrics to ensure immediate visibility
into the current financial health of the organization, as well as view years of historical data.
webKPI is a hosted in an Application Service Provider (ASP) environment, eliminating the need for customers to provide
hardware or manage installation and maintenance of software. As a result of the ASP delivery method, new users are up
to speed and using all of the webKPI tools in minutes or hours, not days and weeks!
Steve Peterson says, "What gets measured gets reported in real-time so that the leaders and those with a stake in the
business heartbeat have meaningful information at their fingertips."
To facilitate rapid access to current financial data, webKPI will develop integration Links to financial systems to
provide on demand downloads of the relevant accounting data. As Steve Sweeney explains, "The Link provides a mechanism
to easily export current financial and transaction data necessary to display Key Performance Indicators and results
for Profit and Loss, Balance Sheet, Cash Flow, Accounts Payable and Accounts Receivable."
