The benefits of using Sage BI
- Excel Reporting and Analytics – All Sage BI reports are presented in Excel, which means you can enhance reports using standard Excel formatting, such as calculations and macros. As most users have Excel skills, this minimises training requirements.
- Out-of-the-box Reports – pre-defined reports allow quick analysis of financial information, e.g. profit and loss, worst paying customers and average sales, removing the need to create reports from scratch.
- Conditional Formatting – Anomalies in your data can be colour coded based on specified criteria, enabling you to spot exceptions quickly and easily.
- Reliable technology – Sage BI uses SQL Server Analysis Services which is a market leading OLAP technology which provides a reliable and robust platform.
- Report Wizard – With the report wizard you can change the layout of a report to meet your requirements, providing flexibility by enabling you to extract the information required, displayed in the way you like.
- Drill Down – From each report you can drill down through to detail, for example if you are looking at an overview for the current year you can drill down into a particular month and then to a daily level.
- Faster, better informed decisions – The multi-dimensional analysis allows you to view data from many angles e.g. sales by region, customer and month. The report fields can be changed in seconds providing quick and easy reporting analysis.
