How is your business really doing?

Like to see your true performance, instantly, on a clear graphic display?

Produce dynamic reporting and analysis directly from your Sage data?

And get the edge on your competitors?

You can - with Sage Business Intelligence (SageBI).

SageBI is the complete, in-depth solution for Sage Line 200 and 500. Install it, and you’ll have a powerful performance management system up and running in no time. SageBI gives you a host of tools for exploring, collating, and analysing all of your business data.

Think of a program that’s as easy to use as Excel – but delivers enterprise-level scalability and performance – and you’ll begin to see what SageBI can do. Use it well, and you’ll begin to see the realities of your business with a clarity and depth you probably never thought possible.

Sage Business Intelligence delivers unique benefits:

Easy to use: by running as part of Excel, SageBI makes full use of your staff’s existing skills.
Cost-effective: a simple, low, per-user price.
Fast and efficient: SageBI delivers even the most sophisticated queries quickly and easily. Use it for plans, forecasts, scorecards, and sales and financial reporting – and take advantage of its powerful end-user analysis tools.
Totally scaleable: SageBI can be scaled to suit small, medium and large businesses, and can easily be deployed to a larger number of users across the internet.

The Sage Business Intelligence solution

The complete SageBI solution has three components:

The Client: making it easy to analyse all your data
The Web Server: publishing reports to every part of your organisation
The Solution Builder: helping you create the tools you need for even the most sophisticated reports

The SageBI Client

The SageBI Client offers a wealth of tools that make it easy to analyse all your data, and to create powerful reports quickly and easily, using Excel skills your staff will already have. Key features include:

Ad-Hoc Analysis: with SageBI you can investigate and analyse data from Microsoft OLAP databases in ways you may never have imagined – or even thought possible. And because it’s totally scalable, its speed and power are available to all organisations, from the smallest to the largest.
Formal Reporting: because it’s based in Excel, and doesn’t use any linking code, you can easily design forms and reports in SageBI to suit the precise needs of your own organisation. You’ll also benefit from advanced options like dashboard reporting and multiple linked queries and charts.
Production Reporting: build up company report packs in Excel or HTML format using SageBI’s Advanced Report Set technology – then automatically email them or publish them to your corporate internet portal.

The SageBI Web Server

With the SageBI Web Server you can quickly and easily send content from the SageBI Client to every part of your organisation.

By saving reports to its central repository you can use the SageBI client to retrieve them and interact with them – and even to make them available on mobile devices.

Ideal for remote users thanks to the web interface.
Easy to use with a scalable portal that SageBI Client users will quickly and easily learn to control.
Quick to install as part of your initial installation, or as a quick and easy add-on for an existing setup.

The SageBI Solution Builder

Think of this as a helper that automatically checks out your data structures, checks the criteria you need for your reports, and then creates all the elements of your custom SageBI solution.

Requires no knowledge of OLAP or business intelligence.
Delivers reports at once against Sage Line 500.
Fully and easily adaptable to bespoke installations of Sage Line 500.
