EVAMOSC Self-Service Analytics (SSA) is now available!

What's EVAMOSC's Self-Service Analytics (SSA)? We hear you asking! SSA is a feature available in Tableau that contains a more granular level of detail beyond what we have available in EVAMOSC's service-neutral workbooks. Users now have access to additional O&S data from various source systems that feed into EVAMOSC to support more in-depth analysis. Within EVAMOSC's SSA, you will have access to a Tableau template where you can create your own data exports, charts, visualizations, and/or dashboards to further your analysis with the data that we currently have available.

If you're interested in understanding how to utilize SSAs and its impact to analysis and get detailed maintenance, historical inventory, and non-cost data, the SSA training is for you. You can find it on the EVAMOSC Portal under our "Online Training" section.

If you have any questions about SSA, please feel free to email us at the EVAMOSC Helpdesk. We look forward to hearing from you.
