arcplan is the first software tool for business intelligence (BI) which received the renowned quality seal HICHERT®IBCS by BARC and HICHERT+FAISST. The high degree of flexibility of the tool 'arcplan Enterprise' made it possible to fully meet all requirements regarding graphics, tables, structures and comments. Since then, arcplan has invested further development efforts in order to simplify the creation of "IBCS compliant" -reports for the user (report developer) and thus save a lot of time and resources in the course of report development.
arcplan 8.5 offers a portfolio of completed and 100% IBCS compliant graphics which can be integrated into the application by a few clicks. Of course, 'Quick Steps' also offers the full arcplan flexibility and can be modified, extended and tailored to the specific requirements.
