Arbutus WebConnect

What Arbutus WebConnect does

Arbutus WebConnect is the browser-based component of the Arbutus Analytics platform. It allows users to run approved analytical procedures, access shared resources, and review outputs through a web browser, without requiring a local installation of Arbutus Analyzer.

This makes it possible to extend the use of analytics beyond specialist users, while keeping procedures centrally managed and controlled.

Arbutus WebConnect is particularly useful where organisations want to make trusted analytics available more widely, whether to audit teams, control owners, managers, or other business users.

How Arbutus WebConnect is used

Arbutus WebConnect is typically used where organisations want to:

• Make approved analytical procedures available through a browser
• Allow users to run analytics without installing desktop software
• Provide controlled access to shared data, procedures, and outputs
• Extend the use of analytics to non-specialist or occasional users
• Support remote or distributed access to trusted procedures

Rather than giving each user full data analysis tools, WebConnect allows organisations to provide access to selected procedures in a structured and controlled way.

This helps increase the reach of analytics while maintaining consistency in how data is made available.

What this looks like

In practice, users log in through a browser, select from the procedures or resources they are authorised to access, provide any required inputs, and run the procedure.

The procedures themselves are created and maintained elsewhere in the Arbutus environment, typically using Arbutus Analyzer and Arbutus Hub. WebConnect then provides a simpler interface for controlled execution and access.

This means that users can work with approved analytics without needing to understand how the procedure was built, while organisations retain control over what is made available and how it is used.

Working with other Arbutus components

Arbutus WebConnect works as part of the broader Arbutus Analytics platform and is typically used together with:

• Arbutus Hub, for sharing resources, scheduling procedures and managing analytics centrally
• Arbutus Analyzer, where procedures are created and prepared before being published
• Arbutus Results Manager, where results or exceptions can be reviewed and managed after execution

This allows organisations to separate the creation of analytical procedures from their controlled day-to-day use.

Who uses Arbutus WebConnect

Arbutus WebConnect is commonly used by:

• Audit teams making established procedures available more widely
• Risk, finance, or compliance teams needing browser-based access to trusted analytics
• Business users running controlled procedures on demand
• Organisations seeking secure and simplified access to centralised analytics

It is particularly valuable where procedures need to be shared with users who do not require the full functionality of Arbutus Analyzer.
