Frequently Asked Questions

anterraBI™ FAQ's

How much does anterraBI™ cost?

anterraBI™ is priced on a named user basis. There are 4 components to a quotation: a) a one time license fee per named user with volume discounts b) a monthly hosting fee per named user c) a monthly data transfer / storage fee and d) an implementation fee. We will be happy to prepare a quotation after we understand the number of users and implementation requirements.

Do I have to purchase Microsoft SharePoint?

No. anterraBI™ includes hosted licenses of Microsoft SharePoint.

Are licenses concurrent or named user?

anterraBI™ licenses are issued per named user as the underlying platform is Microsoft SharePoint. This allows user and group based security.

Can we customize the reports in anterraBI™?

Yes, our reports can be customized per client or we can create reports based on client designs. Our technology includes an OLAP data cube so we can build virtually any report desired.

My data isn't very clean. How will anterraBI™ work if the data isn't clean?

Every client of every size has data quality and governance issues. We find that most issues are simple to clean up with a few hours work. For example the name of a project manager may be TSmith on one project and Tony Smith on another. During the implementation we provide reports to assist in data clean up. Once our BI reports are in use the data processes settle in quickly to keep data clean. For example gross margin or profit erosion reports by project manager will quickly show multiple spellings of project manager names.

How long is a typical implementation?

We implement Financial, Construction and Real Estate BI in the priority of each client. Each implementation is typically a few days per module for the client's module champion and one of our experienced consultants. These days are usually spread over a few weeks per module due to client workload.
