Many companies spend weeks generating the same monthly and quarterly reports. The standard ones are typically used for financial and reporting purposes. This process may take hours of manually keying in the accounting information into programs such as Excel, Lotus, and Word. The manual process may result in mistakes or miscalculating the information.
At Acute Data Systems, we utilize business intelligent products and custom reports to automate these tasks. Once the tool is created, it is a matter of running the report for a specific criteria. This investment may save several hours every month. We have Custom Reporting and Business Intelligence Tools available for companies use such as Crystal Reports, FRx, F9, Business Alerts, and Knowledgesync.
Crystal Reports
Crystal Reports is a business intelligence application used to design and generate reports from a wide range of data sources. Crystal Reports allows users to graphically design data connections and report layout. In the Database Expert, users can select and link tables from a wide variety of data sources, including Microsoft Excel spreadsheets, Oracle databases, Business Objects Enterprise business views, and local file system information. Fields from these tables can be placed on the report design surface, and can also be used in custom formulas, using either BASIC or Crystal's own syntax, which are then placed on the design surface. Formulas can be evaluated at several phases during report generation as specified by the developer. - Wikipedia
