B2Gnow's Power Analytics: A Game Changer for Contract Data Insights

In the realm of public infrastructure, the challenge of managing contracts and ensuring compliance is ever-present. Recognizing this need, B2Gnow, a premier software solutions provider, has unveiled its latest offering, Power Analytics. This innovative reporting solution enhances the way organizations analyze and interpret contract data, empowering stakeholders with deeper insights and improved data visualization capabilities.

Enhanced Reporting Features

With its launch, Power Analytics builds upon B2Gnow's previous reporting tools, integrating with the powerful Microsoft Power BI platform. This combination provides users with a state-of-the-art dashboard that can accommodate various types of data, including DBE, MBE, WBE, and SBE certification, vendor management, and detailed contract metrics related to public projects.

One of the standout aspects of Power Analytics is its focus on customizability. Users can now quickly create bespoke reports tailored to their requirements. This functionality not only simplifies the reporting process but also ensures that critical metrics are readily accessible, fostering informed decisions backed by real-time data.

Key Features of Power Analytics

1. Updated Semantic Model:
Power Analytics introduces a semantic model that integrates fields from multiple B2Gnow modules, enabling seamless customization of reports and utilization of pre-built datasets. This means users can quickly generate reports that cater specifically to their needs, whether they be related to certifications or compliance metrics.

2. Shareable Reports:
Recognizing the importance of collaboration, B2Gnow tailored Power Analytics to allow reports to be shared in various formats—publicly, privately, or with selected groups—ensuring that every key stakeholder remains informed.

3. Bundled Reports:
For users eager to jump right in, pre-built reports are available. They can serve as a great starting point for agencies and organizations, allowing users to extract insights immediately while retaining the ability to customize as per their requirements.

4. Data Visualization:
The platform offers an array of chart types, like bar charts and maps, to make complex data not only digestible but engaging. Effective data visualization is crucial in conveying important information in an understandable manner, especially in large organizations.

5. Flexible Licensing:
As a web-based software-as-a-service (SaaS) application, Power Analytics is designed for easy deployment, supporting unlimited read-only licenses, making it scalable for organizations of various sizes.

Benefits of Power Analytics

One of the main advantages of this new tool is its ability to bridge the gap between data collection and actionable insights. As John Garay, Vice President of Product at B2Gnow, stated, “With evolving regulations, organizations face increasing pressure for rigorous compliance and fair participation, requiring even greater accuracy and transparency.” Power Analytics addresses these demands by providing comprehensive insights that help agencies meet their obligations and public expectations efficiently.

Additionally, Power Analytics is set to expand. B2Gnow indicates plans to incorporate data from other tools such as eComply for prevailing wage reporting and BlackCat for grant management, which will further enrich users' analytical capabilities in coming updates.

Upcoming Webinar

To further familiarize users with Power Analytics, B2Gnow is hosting a free informational webinar titled “Getting More From Your Data: A Deep Dive into Power Analytics”. Scheduled for October 8th at 3 p.m. ET, this exclusive session will provide insights into maximizing the tool’s capabilities. Interested participants can register at B2Gnow's website.
