Sage MAS Reports and the Sounds of a Philharmonic Orchestra
We all know that a philharmonic orchestra is music to the ears of a music lover. Would you believe that your MAS reports can sound the same way if properly orchestrated and tuned? Up until now, it has been challenging to assemble the right balance of reporting instruments in the orchestra pit, so to speak, and have them all read from the same set of sheet music. But there is hope, as harmony can soon be heard filling the airwaves of your office.
By now you are probably aware that the FRx product from Microsoft is no longer going to be available as part of your Sage MAS reporting arsenal. In its place, Sage is offering the new Sage MAS Intelligence (SMI) reporting tool.
The Sage MAS Intelligence module is a powerful easy-to-use reporting tool that empowers you to quickly and easily obtain required information for improved operations and decision making. Based on Microsoft Excel, the Intelligence module lets you effortlessly create reports and analyze data, and thus improve visibility into your organization.
SMI includes ten out-of-the-box report templates that are sure to make you look like a super star from day one. You can start slicing and dicing information from a number of different perspectives immediately. You can also customize and personalize reporting templates if needed. Once a report is produced, you can drill down into the desired details. The ten included report templates are as follows:
- Dashboard Analysis (one page summary of key business information)
- Financial Report
- Consolidated Financial Report
- Financial Trend Analysis (spans two years worth of data)
- Financial Report Designer
- Consolidated Financial Reports Designer (supports multi-company consolidation)
- Inventory Status
- General Ledger Transaction Details
- Vendor Purchases
- Customer Sales
Boost Productivity and Save Time and Money
Sage MAS Intelligence eliminates manual report preparation, repetitive data extracts and complex back-end data joins to provide you with up-to-date, accurate and presentation-quality reports for informed decision-making. You get to spend more time focusing on strategic analysis and interpretation and less time pulling the data together from static reports.
