Dell has launched Dell Product & Profit Analytics (DPPA), an IT solution that allows manufacturing companies to predict the impact market conditions could have on their products by linking detailed material, manufacturing and selling costs from across all business systems.

The solution combines Dell Services’ ERP implementation, integration expertise and hosting capabilities with core business intelligence to provide real-time simulations and predictive analytics. Dell and pVelocity, Dell’s DPPA partner, demonstrated the new solution in Detroit-area.

Dell Services – manufacturing executive director Michael J. Morrison said with this solution, manufacturers have the ability to make effective and efficient corporate decisions based on real-time, predictive data.

The company said DPPA makes use of the existing enterprise systems to provide immediate insight without the need for ongoing IT intervention and support. The solution integrates seamlessly into existing infrastructures, supporting multiple data sources. The software allows customisation for manufacturers to match their own business practices and objectives on the front end.

DPPA can be deployed in 45-90 days and has the ability to handle any number of users and multiple deployment options, including cloud, SaaS and on-premise, the company added.
