Software: Business Intelligence

Do you have the information you need to make accurate business decisions, or are your decisions based on historical data and guess work? Are you driving your business forward by making timely decisions or are you getting left behind?

The business intelligence tools in Opera 3 give you the information you need, precisely when you need it so you can make sensible business decisions. Pegasus XRL has even won awards for its features and will revolutionise the way you view your business information.

Pegasus XRL

Pegasus XRL allows Microsoft Excel to access live data in Opera 3 at the click of a mouse, so you don’t have to copy and paste, re-key or work out formulas. For years, accounting system users have had to struggle with complicated and inflexible reporting tools that are supposed to make things easier. In reality, they make extracting data into Excel a real trial

 

XRL brings such struggles to an end. Pegasus XRL is our award-winning Business Intelligent application which seamlessly links your Opera 3 financial information with Microsoft Excel in a couple of simple steps.

Pegasus Instant Messenger (PIM)

Pegasus Instant Messenger (PIM) helps release the business-critical information held within your system via pro-active alerts. PIM is Opera 3’s unique real-time reporting, scheduling and instant messaging tool, designed to address the challenges organisations face when attempting to manage and distribute business information.

In today’s age, nobody can afford to wait for monthly or weekly management reports to determine the health of their business; PIM automatically distributes real-time, business-critical information in the form of a discreet pop-up instant message, as and when you need it.
