ContrOCC Insights is a Business Intelligence tool developed by Oxford Computer Consultants to enable you to get the most out of the information you have in ContrOCC.

By giving you new ways of viewing your data, for example, price comparisons for different providers, the current picture versus the same period last year or maps showing where clients are based related to the providers delivering their services, you can gain new insights allowing you to reduce costs, track performance and identify where more focus may be required and improve the service you offer to your clients.

We will also be announcing a ‘Release Note Workshop’ with an invitation for user participation.
