What Can You Accomplish
with RatioWriter™?

"... performance and results are far more important -- and far more difficult to measure and control -- in the non-profit institution than in a business."
—Peter Drucker

Measure Performance

How Do You Measure Performance?

Do you use raw numbers? Trends? Ratios? Do you mix financial and operational data to calculate productivity ratios?

Do you chart performance as a straight line over time? Comparing year over year? Compared to another measure? How easy is it to create a new measure or chart of a measure? How much time does it take?

Performance measurement is hard work. Your systems support operations or financial reporting. They don't analyze performance. That means you have to collect data from reports an rekey it. You then have to recreate the calculations, audit your calculations, and create your charts. A new ratio or a change to an existing ratio means long late hours to get results.

RatioWriter™ dramatically simplifies the process of charting performance. With the added benefits of improved accuracy, flexibility and speed. Import your data, both financial and non-financial. Define your performance, productivity, and other ratios. Use ad hoc analysis to fine tune your needs. Define a chart by selecting a template, the measures and ratios, and organizations. The templates define how your performance will be displayed:

  • 1 measure for up to 10 Organizations
  • Year over Year
  • Up to 3 measures for 1 Organization
  • Up to 3 measures with two different scales
  • Bubble chart

Receive new numbers? Just import them and regenerate the charts. Change takes minutes not hours or days.
