Usage Data Processing and Reports

The raw usage data collected by SCC is processed and aggregated to make it suitable for various out-of-the-box reports that are available via Sentinel EMS. Aggregation is a process of combining records with similar characteristics, making it easier for you to process and present them in reports.

Sentinel EMS provides you with the ability to generate reports based on either raw or aggregated usage data. Most of the reports are generated in tabular (text-based) format. In addition, where relevant, each report includes a graphical presentation of the data, in either pie chart or bar chart format.

Note the following important points regarding the reports:

>Some reports present information based on raw usage data and some on aggregated usage data.

>All the usage reports are based on license consumption and not on sales data.
