Solutions for Financial Control



The pressure for finance professionals to provide timely and complete overviews of corporate performance has never been greater. In the wake of Enron, WorldCom, Sarbanes-Oxley and Basel II, the need to appreciate the big picture while staying on top of the detail is paramount.

Fractal:Edge has a revolutionary approach to information management which provides a unique view of large and complex datasets. Colour-coding provides an instant assessment of areas of interest or where action is required. And by providing a complete picture of detail and overview in a single snapshot, Fractal:Edge technology significantly reduces the amount of time taken to understand management accounts and financial statements meaning quicker, more effective control of corporate operations.

The Fractal Map shown to the right is a simple map of the Fractal:Edge website. Each circle represents a page in the site starting with the largest, outer circle representing the homepage. If there are further links from that page they will be shown as smaller circles within it.

Fractal Map with the homepage highlightedBy moving your mouse over a circle and "hovering" over it (by keeping the mouse still) for a short time, you will see labels appear to show you the titles of the page you are hovering over (at 12 o'clock) and the pages it is linked to.

Clicking on a circle opens the relevant page in your browser window.

Fractal Map with the homepage highlightedIn addition, the Fractal Map will show a "crumb trail" for the page you are viewing by highlighting the relevant circles in red. The smallest red circle represents the page you are viewing and any "parent" pages higher up in the website structure will also be highlighted red showing you the route you would take to reach the page. Note that the homepage itself is never coloured red in this way.
