Dimensional Insight is a software company specializing in the development and marketing of business intelligence software. Their flagship product, The Diver Solution, delivers information in the form of reports, charts, and analytical applications.

History

Dimensional Insight was founded in 1989 by Frederick A. Powers and Stanley R. Zanarotti.[1] It has subsidiaries in the People's Republic of China, Hong Kong, and the Netherlands.

Products

Dimensional Insight's flagship product, The Diver Solution (Diver), is a business intelligence suite that allows users to combine multiple internal and external data sources into a single data feed that enables secure, role-based access to data via interactive dashboards and reports. Diver can also be used to send email alerts, to create PDFs, or to download data into Excel files.[citation needed]

The full suite consists of the following tools:

  • integ/visualintegrator - an ETL (extract/transform/load) capable of extracting textual data from many sources, and transforming it into whatever format is needed
  • builder/visualbuilder - a tool used to build many dimensional, pre summarized, data models suitable for use in ad hoc and pre-canned queries
  • diver/prodiver - a visual data exploration tool, and a tool for preparing pre-prepared data views
  • diveline - a web based interface to the data models

Diver can be delivered as an on-premises installation, with the complete Diver suite of tools; an appliance installed on-premises but managed by Dimensional Insight; or a software-as-a-service (SaaS) application.[citation needed]

In addition, Dimensional Insight develops specific applications to meet reporting and analytics needs of both healthcare as well as supplier, manufacture, and distributor organizations.[2] These applications include a revenue and expense tracking tool, productivity analysis tools, and a suite of executive dashboards, as well as physician scorecards, surgery scorecards, and a certified Meaningful Use solution.[citation needed]
