Future Developments and Additions
OST is working fervently to achieve world class breakthroughs to provide
the clients with cutting edge features. The following features are already
in the pre production mode:
Business Messenger: Reports are seen to take decisions. To take
decisions, it is at times important to discuss the data from a report
with the relevant users. To ensure that this is possible and record
the conversations with that specific version of the report, Kautilya
will soon be shipped with an option to do the same
Predictive Decision Support system: It is important to have the
system use the intelligence from the available data and after taking
user inputs help him make the decision. Thus OST is working to
release a unique concept of a decision support system.
Business Language Support: For ages Business Users have been
looking for a simple interface where they can simply ask regular
business questions in plain English language. Kautilya will soon
become the only product in the world to offer the same.
Further details of these features can be discussed in a one to one meeting.
