Comparison of BI platforms IBM Cognos and SAP BO
Novák, Ondřej ; Novotný, Ota (advisor) ; Pour, Jan (referee)
Business Intelligence platforms contain many detailed tools with overlapping functionality. The primary aim of this thesis is to compare two BI platforms from leaders in the market - IBM Cognos BI (version 10) and SAP Business Objects (version 3.1). This comparison emphasises their practical usefulness in both ad hoc and standard reporting. In the first theoretical chapter there is a definition of basic terms and a brief description of the BI solution. In the following two chapters there are detailed descriptions of IBM Cognos BI and SAP Business Objects platforms including the most important tools. The theoretical part of this thesis is based mostly on documentation. The practical part of this thesis defines criteria for the evaluation of BI platforms. Following this chapter is the main comparison based mostly on my practical experience with each tool and experience from a migration project from IBM Cognos to SAP BO. Workarounds are described in some cases to compensate for missing functionality. The results this thesis are evaluation criteria as well as a description and comparison of both platforms. The merit of this thesis is an identification of problematic functionality present in BI solutions from the points of view of new development, implementation and migration.

Analysis of public procurement in Jindřichův Hradec
Freimannová, Beáta ; Maaytová, Alena (advisor) ; Kostohryz, Jiří (referee)
The goal of this paper is to analyze the process of assessment and outsourcing of contracts by the municipality. The theoretical part will concentrate on analyzing the city budget, its revenue and expenditure side. I put focus on capital expenditure by which municipality provides public services via public procurement. The second part defines the participants in the procurement process and the types of contracts. I pay attention to the methodology used by the city for the small scale procurement and methods of public procurement assessment, to be used in further analysis. In the third part I analyze one particular contract, steps involved in awarding the procurement and selection of assessment criteria. To determine the model weights I chose the method of successive weighting pattern combined with the method of allocation of 100 points. The values obtained in this way were compared with weights actually used. To assess the different offers I applied the newly obtained weights to the information published in the protocol (for assessment and evaluation of bids) and analyzed differences between actual and predicted points according to the new scale of weights.

Contracompetitive decisions of contracting entities
Vršecký, Radek ; Boháček, Martin (advisor) ; Kotoučová, Jiřina (referee) ; Marek, Karel (referee) ; Krč, Robert (referee)
The thesis deals with typical decisions made by contracting entities which restrict the competition among economic operators. The thesis analyses the typical mistakes which are made by the contract entities in awarding procedures. The causes of mistakes being made by contracting entities can be summarized into three groups. Into the first group belong conscious mistakes. For these mistakes shall be contracting entities` agents held responsible. Into the second group belong mistakes in planning. Mistakes from the third group are made as a consequence of lack of professional skills. None of these mistakes can be prevented just by an amendment to the Act on Public Contracts. Any proposal of an amendment solving the lack of professional skills shall consider also all connected negative effects; mainly additional time demands, financial costs and the risk of underfinanced praxis turning into formalism. Professionally skilled agents are usually more careful when they apply the Act on Public Contracts because they are aware of legal risks. Considering current limited budget resources it should be decided whether to put stress on cooperation with internal or external experts. The author recommends internal experts because external experts do not do their best if they are aware of the fact being not controlled effectively by internal experts. However the current Act on Public Contracts is not perfect, the duties laid by it are enforced successfully. Considering a new amendment also the legal theory shall be taken into account. The author presumes similarity of preventing of breaches against the Act on Public Contracts and of preventing of crimes. The most important factor preventing from criminality is to be aware that the punishment is inescapable, not its rates. The author points out also the opinion of the general theory of law according to which a new act is to be passed only if there is an objective necessary need. It should not to be passed by a fortuity or because of subjective views. There should be also a time space between the amendments. There was an amendment to Act on Public Contracts approved in 2010 and European Union currently prepares amending of awarding directives. The author therefore prefers improving the praxis of awarding in the Czech Republic by granting additional human resources to the Office for the Protection of Competition to passing of another amendment to the Act on Public Contracts. The scope of the Act on Public Contracts is also not convenient for amending a list of contract clauses which are not allowed to be concluded by contracting entities. There are two reasons. Contracting entities are constituted by various groups of subjects and contracts selling their property are outside the scope of the Act on Public Contracts. Contracting entities should use standard awarding procedure to promote competition among economic operators. They should concentrate on exactness of tender conditions. A good prevention to mistakes in awarding procedure is also good planning and skilled human recourses of contracting entities.

Evaluation of CPM applications - analytical portals
Tománek, Jiří ; Novotný, Ota (advisor) ; Maryška, Miloš (referee)
This thesis is concerned with evaluation CPM applications -- Analytical Portals. Based on reading up the evaluation criteria from another authors in third chapter, are chosen own criteria for evaluation of application Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007, where are dashboards and reports created.

Chrást, Tomáš ; Novotný, Ota (advisor) ; Pour, Jan (referee)
Extensive solutions of Business Intelligence consist of wide range of projects. One of them is generating of reporting layer whose part is setting of dashboards. This diploma thesis deals with dashboards and tools serving to their formation. In the first part of the thesis there is explained the theory of dashboards in current company informatics.

In the last part of the thesis there is a presentation and evaluation of one selected tool (Dashboard Designer) according to the criteria stated in the thesis. During the evaluation of the tool it is possible to verify some of the criteria on the basis of practical experience. That is why the demonstrative implementation of Dashboard Designer over the test data is shown. Thus the second aim of the diploma thesis is completed. Aforementioned targets are achieved on account of pieces of knowledge about dashboards coming especially from the literature published by authorities in the line of business and from background research concerned with contemporary approach to the evaluation of tool for the forming of dashboards. In addition to formed criteria this diploma thesis can be instrumental to further discussion about dashboards and their role in current company informatics.
