DEA Analysis Professional (formerly KonSi Data Envelopment Analysis DEA)

In order to assess whether a certain company or business is efficient, a wide variety of tests and measurements need to be performed, the totality of which result in a performance rating that can be used to estimate value, efficiency and productivity. Using this data, the company in question can work on their less productive branches and increase their overall performance.

DEA Analysis Professional is a software utility comprised of a variety of tools and utilities designed to assess performance and efficiency, as well as conduct a wide range of marketing analysis methods and financial plannings. In essence, the application allows you to handle multiple companies or units at the same time, thanks to the Malmquist Index method it employs to calculate efficiency dynamics.

As far as the actual user interface is concerned, although you may find it rather intimidating at first, every field is carefully explained by the utility and you can always consult the decently-sized manual that comes bundled with the application. Since almost every text box and value can be manually filled in, you can quickly get the hang of it and understand how to use its functions.

In order to properly asses the final data obtained with the help of the application, the results can be quickly exported to your computer, using Microsoft Excel documents to do so. Thus, the spreadsheet format is highly intuitive and easy-to-read by anyone, with all the values neatly arranged into their respective columns and rows.

When it comes to the type of information you receive at the end of the estimation, the Excel files are basically reports detailing certain scores and values. Hence, you can view anything from the overall efficiency factor, to the number of transactions and unit names, depending on the type of report you create.
