Sage BI is now FREE!

November 2009

Business Intelligence has reached a new level of importance for businesses. The data generated from mid-market applications is at an all-time high, but simply storing vast amounts of data and reporting in the traditional way does not provide effective intelligence. To be useful, Sage 200 reporting needs be dynamic and provide detailed credible information.

BI solutions are seen as a means to turn information into an asset on which better decisions can be made. CIOs are increasingly required to invest in technologies that drive business transformation and strategic change. The fact that BI is a top priority shows that CIOs see BI as part of the answer, and, they believe that BI can improve decision making and operational efficiency, which in turn drives the top line and the bottom line.

What can you achieve with Sage 200 BI?

• Identification of historical trends
• Investigation of anomalies
• Informing strategic decision making
• Reflection and analysis

*Sage 200 BI requires users to be running the latest version of Sage 200. Consultancy charges apply.

See inside your order to cash process with one FREE Crystal Reports user for SAP Business One.

November 2009

Order to cash (OTC) involves all of the steps that transform customer interactions into the numbers on your bottom line. Practically every company must engage in OTC activities, from quoting and ordering to shipping and billing. Many companies don't have clear visibility into these most basic of workflows because their OTC processes are too manual – too soiled. One process in particular that few companies are able to manage effectively is the reporting and analytics required to oversee all of OTC. The result is an incomplete financial picture of the business.

See How Sales Becomes Revenue:
The Crystal Reports family of offerings is the enterprise reporting solution that enables you to see inside your OTC processes to discover if and how your organization is meeting its financial objectives. With this information, you can better determine where to focus and coordinate efforts to lower costs and increase revenue.

Some of the OTC information that is visible through Crystal Reports:

• Contact to sales order
• Sales lead data, including the number of leads and their costs
• Qualification or lead conversion ratio
• Quote data, including gross margin and average discount
• Closing data, including win/loss ratios and time-to-close/sales cycles
• Order fulfillment
• Order-to-delivery performance data, including the number of orders; new or open orders; errors; and promised delivery dates
• Costs of shipping
• Returns and disputes
• Invoice to cash
• Metrics, including the number and value of invoices created, sent, and disputed
• Cash received
• Accounts receivable and days outstanding.

With Crystal Reports, you can create all of these OTC-focused reports, as well as reports that associate OTC metrics with inventory levels, marketing campaigns, and more.
