esProc Standard

esProc Standard is an easy-to-use desktop tool for business computation, in particular the complex computational goal. esProc is fit for the business personnel with the basic IT capability. esProc is characterized with a style of grid in which the complex business computational goal can be decomposed into several simple objectives. As a tool specially designed for business experts, esProc boasts an easy-to-grasp syntax and requires quite less IT background of users. esProc can be installed with a wizard guiding you through a simple installation process and run on the normal 32-bit or 64-bit Windows PCs. Even the average users can operate esProc independently for business computing, not requiring the additional server support, IT team for maintenance, or IT expert for technical assistance. esProc is a tool to script in the grid. With esProc, the computational logics can be laid out in the 2D space conveniently, so that the business algorithm can be interpreted with the computer language more easily. Users can present their respective ideas based on the business logics arbitrarily, following their natural and familiar train of thoughts. The grid implements an clear view of the code indentation and work scope, streamlines the cell reference and reuse, and enables an intuitive variable monitoring. Even those weak in IT can achieve their computational goal by themselves. esProc advocates the step-by-step computation. To put it concretely, esProc enable users to decompose a complex goal into several simple steps in the grid, and ultimately achieve the goal by accomplishing those simple objectives. Confronting the obscure computational goal, business users can make an educated guess and then verify through the step-by-step computations progressively. With the customized processing on the current findings, users can go drill into the problem till the root cause is found. Then, they can bring forward a more valuable conclusion. The traditional tool is hard to support the independent desktop computation. SQL advocates neither the step-by-step computation, nor the explicit set, lacks the object references mechanism and the full support for ordered computations. No wonder that SQL is cumbersome and ineffective for complex computations. R language also suffers the bad interactivity and the complex and hard-to-comprehend syntax. With an all-round and well-defined computing setup, esProc supports the true data type of set. The member of a set can be the data of simple data types, record, and/or other sets. It supports the ordered set, capable of accessing to the set member arbitrarily and undertaking the serial-number-related operations, for example, ranking, sorting, year-over-year comparison, and link relative ratio comparison. With the ideal ?set of set? mechanism to represent the grouping, esProc can be used to solve various grouping problems easily, including those problems involving the equal, align, and enum groupings. In addition, uses can operate the individual records in the data set in the same way as operating the object. Such disassociated record will give users a much more arbitrary access experience than ever. As a desktop BI tools for independent use by business personnel, esProc is ready to confront the challenges of dynamic business environment, meet any emergent computational demand, give full play to the individual creativity and subjective initiative, and provide the results closest to the facts for an informed business decision.
