Performance efficiency and accuracy are crucial to a productive and fiscally-responsible government. Xcalibur delivers enterprise-wide performance and accountability by utilizing the resources best-suited to the client’s system and objectives. Xcalibur has the knowledge, expertise and tools to achieve full accountability through performance reporting.

Current software systems are not up to this task. With a combination of archaic, cumbersome reporting components and disparate data sources, these systems are unable to keep pace with evolving, more complex analysis and reporting needs. A common denominator is rigid design. The systems lack the flexibility to cull specific bits of data and produce useful reports based on a new set of parameters. Worst of all, they prohibit users from performing their jobs proficiently.

Xcalibur believes customers shouldn't have to "make do" with these white elephants. Procedures such as manually cutting and pasting data from existing screens, exports and output formats to generate information overviews wastes valuable time and resources. But beyond the obvious, today’s reporting requirements must allow for measurable accountability evaluations and rapid decision-making. To that extent, we are experts in designing flexible, performance reporting engines for always-on access to decision-ready information.

With a comprehensive performance reporting system, virtually any type of data can be examined thoroughly. Decision-makers have the ability to:

+	Review cross-sectional and longitudinal participation reports
+	Identify, analyze, and benchmark performance metrics
+	Perform formative evaluations for use in program improvement efforts
+	Perform summative evaluations to prove or demonstrate a program’s effectiveness
+	Disaggregate data for identification of achievement patterns and gaps in subpopulations
+	Examine funding and resource allocation patterns and determine links to specific outcomes

Xcalibur has the experience and the means to break down silos and integrate legacy data applications seamlessly. Our data warehouse team builds on existing frameworks to create constructive decision support systems without disrupting otherwise functional processes.

Gone are the days of bottleneck systems and laborious manual report generation. Organizations now can devote their time and talents to analysis, discovery, and decision making – determining relationships between background, intervention, and outcome.

Our advancements in leading-edge reporting systems and accolades from satisfied customers, including the National Cancer Institute, Office of Research Integrity, and U.S. Navy, motivate us to continuously seek new and better ways organizations can utilize their data and improve program performance. After a decade of software development and consulting, our enthusiasm and commitment remains stronger than ever, and we will continue to provide best-of-breed reporting solutions with the flexibility our customers have come to expect.
