What do you get when you combine South Africa’s leading accounting software with Microsoft® Excel? A reporting tool that revolutionises the way you make decisions in your business.
If you are comfortable using Microsoft® Excel to share, present and analyse information, Sage Evolution’s Business Intelligence Centre is perfect for you. BIC is an add-on module that dynamically links to your Sage Evolution data, taking your business beyond standard reporting functionality. You generate spreadsheets by simply extracting Sage Evolution data and converting it into an easy-to-read, graphic format. The user friendly BIC Excel Genie gives you the power to transform data using an intuitive drag-and-drop interface to construct reports.
BIC retains report formats and makes them available for future use. You also have instant access to ‘live’ information and that last minute journal no longer impacts your Excel reporting. Monthly financials account for a large percentage of manual Excel labour. BIC offers a customisable pack which provides drill down functionality.
You can customise the standard set of reports and templates and create new ones. You can be flexible in the combinations of financial data you choose to report on. BIC ships with Management Packs (Balance Sheet, Income Statement), Sales Master (Sales Reports), Inventory, Purchasing options and more.
OLAP Cubes (Online Analytical Processing)
OLAP Cubes is an extension of BIC. The OLAP module caters for multidimensional analysis of your data. It answers the questions ‘what if?’ and ‘why?’. It analyses trends over months and years from a set of predefined cubes for financials, sales and inventory. You can modify and build your own cubes based on your business requirements, rank customers and suppliers in order of importance and drill down to the level of detail you need. OLAP is predominantly powerful in analysing large volumes of data where traditional End User Query Reporting may not be appropriate.
Online Web Reporting
This module is an extension of the BIC module. It provides worldwide secure access to your business reports through a standard web browser. This is an excellent platform to share information with partners, suppliers and customers. All you need is internet access from your web browser. Once you authenticate yourself the reports will be made available to you. You will have access to critical information about your business from anywhere in the world at any time you choose. Online Web Reporting supports secure access so you receive your reports in a variety of formats across the web for example Microsoft® Excel, PDF or HTML.
