Reporting

Businesses are dealing with a diverse number of issues, a wider range of regulations and heightened competition. Companies need to be able to understand their business and be proactive through evidence-based decisions and agile strategies. However many companies do not have systems that can report effectively across the enterprise and they also find combining financial and non-financial data very difficult.

SunSystems Vision gives businesses a unique insight into the financial and operational performance by providing you with the ability to drill down into multiple dimensions of your SunSystems information. The complementary reporting functionality, offers you businesses the opportunity to have real time business intelligence in an instant.

SunSystems Information Management suite is composed of two key areas - the SunSystems reporting functionality and the Vision suite.

SunSystems multi-dimensional analysis provides an ideal engine for collecting and structuring data for further analysis. Vision provides business intelligence by enabling you to uncover and analysis trends, problems and opportunities to help improve your competitive position. In addition it provides the ability to dynamically link MS Excel spreadsheets with SunSystems.

Key business benefits:

Execution

Reports can be initiated either manually through the report manager or automatically by being triggered from within a process.

Format

Reports can be printed, saved to file or viewed on screen. In addition it is possible to search the report using filters that can then be saved and re-used as required. Report Manager can also publish the report in XML or HTML formats, which can be sent to an email recipient.

Detailed inquiry

Vision can be used to conduct adhoc inquiries on live data and to explore issues by drilling down to level of detail required. This functionality is available for SunSystems data but can also be combined with data from external sources.

Dynamic linking with Microsoft Excel

Vision provide a dynamic link between Microsoft Excel and SunSystems data. This enables you to both import and export data from Excel into SunSystems. You can also consolidate and manage the budgeting/forecasting process across the whole organisation.

Alerting and viewing on the web

You can automatically set reports to generate based upon certain criteria, i.e. total debtors exceeding a certain amount, or you can schedule them to run at set time periods. The reports can also be published to the web in HTML or DHTML format, printed, emailed or viewed in Microsoft Excel.
