PAW - Process & Analytics Workbench

Usage Lifecycle

As an end-user, PAW provides you value immediately, much like a spreadsheet. Additionally, as you start to get comfortable with the tool, you start to use more of the power of PAW to automate your business processes and share this with your colleagues.

Productivity Benefits Delivered Quickly

Initial Usage

PAW provides most of the tools that you get with a spreadsheet when it comes to handling data in a repeatable manner. You can start by importing data from Microsoft Excel files or databases and doing joins and summarizations with drill-downs. You will have an understanding of where PAW solves for your needs.

Get Comfortable, Start Automating

Next, as you get comfortable with the PAW concepts, you can start to automate some of your processing, so that a whole set of it can be done with a single click, allowing you to focus on the data and make decisions. You might even make some of your processes customizable, so if you're handling multiple projects or different campaigns, you can run the same processes for these.

More Advanced Usage

As you start to realize the PAW benefits, you might want to share the processes you've developed with your department, much like you'd share Excel templates with a whole set of calculations built in. PAW is intended for department use in much the same way. This will increase the productivity of your group and get you bragging rights!

Additionally, if you're more technically bent, you might start to do some scripting - with the help of the ready reference on the PAW support pages. With this, you can be loading databases with data, pulling information from multiple sources, performing complex calculations, and calling existing applications. You're well on your way to building a mini application that will deliver all the benefits at a fraction of the cost of a custom application.
