“We
were looking for a simple way to extract transaction data from our core financial system into Excel that all users could easily access for
reporting purposes. Analyst for Sage does this. Our reporting database is fully refreshed with data from
the general ledger automatically on a daily basis and we have five finance
users producing and running reports….
The
initial implementation focused on producing a database of actuals and budgets from the general
ledger and took three days. An additional two days enabled us to increase
the database to include actual data from the project ledger and fixed assets
ledger plus forecast data on the general ledger….
One day of training
was sufficient to produce simple reports and one super user went on to develop
more complex reports without further training.”
