Sage offers new version BI tool for SMBs

DELHI, INDIA: Sage Software today announced the availability of Sage Accpac Insight 5.4, a new version of the company's analysis and business intelligence (BI) tool for small and mid-sized businesses (SMBs).

Designed for use and integrated with Sage Accpac ERP1 (enterprise resource planning), Sage Accpac Insight utilizes key business data contained within Sage Accpac ERP, and is ideal for employees in remote offices and disparate departments who need to manage, distribute, and collaborate this data from a single, unified source.

It allows users to quickly capture and integrate information into meaningful reports and securely distribute them across an entire company on demand. Sage Accpac Insight helps business owners dramatically improve reporting performance, make more informed decisions, and respond rapidly to ever-changing business conditions.

Sage Accpac Insight 5.4 offers an improved "out of the box" user experience, with more sample reports to choose from, more Sage Accpac ERP data to access, and more queries for analysis. Version 5.4 is even easier to use and navigate than previous versions, with an improved wizard-driven report design, and simplified processing of sales data with many functions now incorporated into fewer modules.

Accpac Insight is truly a comprehensive solution for an organization's reporting, analytics, budgeting and consolidations requirements, offering robust performance, plus excellent scalability via its Data Warehouse component. "Sage Accpac Insight is an enterprise-wide reporting, budgeting, and consolidation solution that turns Microsoft Excel into a portal to all the information you need to manage your business. It is a powerful and customizable BI solution complete with drill-down and multi-dimensional analysis," said Thomas Abraham, managing director, Sage Software India.

"You can quickly transform information from multiple data sources into meaningful reports and distribute those across your enterprise nearly in real time while applying user-level security. Sage Accpac Insight is used to create strategic analyses, consolidated financial statements, and insightful reports by our Sage Accpac ERP customers."
