SAGE BUSINESS PARTNERS
If you're a Sage Business Partner, it's vital for you to know about Business Intelligence (BI) . You should also know:
• How it can benefit you
• Why it's important for your clients
• How Azura Associates can help
• And which products can be used with Sage Business Intelligence.
How Business Intelligence can bring you benefits
When you're pitching for new business, there are always times when you need an edge. And that's just what BI can deliver.
Would your proposition be that much more compelling if it included a sophisticated reporting and analysis tool? And if that tool were an integral part of your solution?
How important to your client is reporting on, and access to, up to date business information?
You're already delivering first-rate transaction processing, but how would your client react if you could deliver additional analysis and reporting at the same time – with the obvious commercial advantages that would bring?
Your client base will soon be demanding BI solutions – so how can you deliver them without a significant investment in new skills?
Sage Business Intelligence is the answer to all these questions, and many more. And at Azura Associates we are the Sage Business Intelligence specialists.

Why do your clients need Business Intelligence?
Today's businesses have to be both flexible and agile. To ensure they survive and succeed they must respond very quickly to changing circumstances, good or bad. For that, they need tightly focussed, accurate and up to date information – but all too often, what they get is information overload.
Many organisations struggle to get accurate and insightful information about their own performance – even if they already have sophisticated transaction processing systems. All too often it's hard to find out what's really happening in the business, and how this relates to what's happening outside.
And that's precisely what Business Intelligence – BI – can deliver.
For many years major corporates have been using BI to join up information from different data sources and deliver enterprise-wide, up to the minute snapshots of exactly what's going on in every part of their operation. This simply isn't possible with traditional reporting. For example, it's difficult if not impossible to relate a product view of your sales to a customer view and a channel view – yet with BI you can do this quickly, easily, and accurately.
The benefits are clear. They can make better decisions, based on accurate and fully current information. And they can get a far truer picture of their customer and supplier relationships.
The results can bring a whole string of benefits to your clients including, for example:
• More productivity from their workers
• Lower training costs
• Better inventory management
• Lower customer care costs
• Lower administrative costs
• Better customer satisfaction

Product Areas
And this year Sage have made it possible to integrate BI applications with almost their entire product range – from the flagship ERP system Line 500 product down to the Line 50 product, the world's most popular accounting program for SMEs. And they're planning a similar product to accompany their new Mid Market MMS application, due at the end of 2006.
All these products have one thing in common – they're all based in IntelligentApps, already a popular and well-established product when Sage bought it in 2005, and already well known as a serious BI tool. It's tried, it's tested, it can be delivered and installed quickly and easily, and because it links directly to Sage software it arrives predefined and preconfigured to the customer's existing data
Right now BI seems new and exciting – but in the next few months it will become a core requirement for all businesses, large and small.
SageBI is already available:
• for Sage Line 50 Customers
• for Sage MME CRM Customers
• for Sage Line 200/500
• for clients with Enterprise wide solutions that have no core Sage systems
