Contour BI Portal允許用戶用任意的瀏覽器中查看報(bào)表且不需要額外的軟件。它有一個(gè)管理視圖的工具欄。

Contour BI Portal還包含一個(gè)CMS（內(nèi)容管理系統(tǒng)）模塊，它可以用集成的Contour BI 來(lái)構(gòu)建整個(gè)網(wǎng)站和企業(yè)門戶站點(diǎn)。

描述性

豐富多彩的展示功能可使數(shù)據(jù)更加透明和全面。Contour bashboard可用表格，地圖以及圖表來(lái)顯示信息，使信息一目了然，便于快速地理解信息。

交互性

不同于在互聯(lián)網(wǎng)上發(fā)布數(shù)據(jù)的傳統(tǒng)方法，Contour BI Portal允許用戶通過(guò)設(shè)置一系列參數(shù)來(lái)快速地過(guò)濾數(shù)據(jù)，更改字段的順序，即時(shí)更新匯總，和下鉆數(shù)據(jù)。

面向大眾

由于沒有技術(shù)基礎(chǔ)的用戶也能在一段工作時(shí)間內(nèi)掌握Contour BI Portal，因此，允許用它來(lái)向大眾發(fā)布數(shù)據(jù)。

集成了GIS

Contour BI Portal提供了功能強(qiáng)大的內(nèi)置的GIS（地理信息系統(tǒng)），支持主流制造商的地圖（空間信息）格式，如ESRI中的ArcGIS，以及一些其它的格式。

該系統(tǒng)結(jié)合矢量層和光柵層，可用來(lái)顯示多級(jí)地圖，并能以梯度填充的區(qū)域，點(diǎn)和圖表的格式來(lái)顯示統(tǒng)計(jì)和業(yè)務(wù)信息。

帶有商務(wù)智能系統(tǒng)的集成的全功能GIS給出了信息分析的一些新特性。地圖變成了OLAP報(bào)表的一部分，OLAP報(bào)表的所有交互式操作可以立即顯示在地圖上。簡(jiǎn)化了地圖的安裝過(guò)程，只要設(shè)置了OLAP報(bào)表和用戶的下一步操作，數(shù)據(jù)層可自動(dòng)地出現(xiàn)在地圖上面。

新穎的統(tǒng)計(jì)報(bào)表分布系統(tǒng)

Contour BI Portal允許訪問者將報(bào)表的代碼或或報(bào)表的一部分拷貝到他們的博客或者網(wǎng)站中，并允許他們?yōu)槠涓郊由献约旱奈谋?。用戶可以?chuàng)建自己的面板，其面板可以包含來(lái)自不同站點(diǎn)的報(bào)表元素表格、圖表及地圖。當(dāng)源報(bào)表被更新后，這些報(bào)表仍可以與之交互并能夠?qū)崿F(xiàn)自動(dòng)同步。

這是散步報(bào)表的一種十分新穎的方法，它可以改變我們對(duì)互聯(lián)網(wǎng)所帶來(lái)的機(jī)遇的認(rèn)識(shí)。

Contour BIPortal allows users to view reports in any browser and doesn’t require additional software. It has a comprehensive toolbar for managing the view

Contour BIPortal also contains CMS (Content Management System) module, which allows building whole websites and corporate portals with Contour BI integrated.

Descriptiveness

Colorful and diverse presentation options make data transparent and comprehensive. Contour Dashboard displays  tables, maps, and charts at a glance for quick understanding of the information.

Interactivity

Unlike traditional methods of publishing data on the Internet, Contour BIPortal allows users to quickly filter data by any set of parameters, change order of fields, instantly updating summaries, .and drilling through the data.

Focusing on the masses

Contour BIPortal is built so that a user without technical skills can master it himself in one working session. This allows using it for publishing data for the general public.

Integrated GIS

Contour BIPortal provides powerful builtin GIS (Geographical Information System), supporting maps (spatial information) formats of leading manufacturers, such as ArcGIS from ESRI, and several other formats.

The system displays multilayer maps, combining vector and raster layers, and displays statistical and business information in the form of gradient-filled regions, points, and diagrams.

 Integrated full-featured GIS with Business Intelligence system gives new quality of information analysis. Map becomes part of OLAP report; all interactive manipulation of the OLAP report is immediately displayed on the map. The setup procedure of map is simplified - data layers appear on it automatically, as configured in OLAP report settings and further user actions.

Innovative statistical reports distribution system

Visitors of Contour BIPortal can copy code of a report or its fragment and paste it into their blog or website, accompanied with custom text. Users can create their own panel including elements of the report - tables, graphs, and maps - from different sites. This report will be also interactive and synchronized automatically as the source reports are updated.

 This is quite new approach to report distribution, which can change our understanding of the opportunities brought by Internet.
