SYSPRO Announces Real-Time Business Monitoring Software
COSTA MESA, Calif. - January 23, 2003 -- SYSPRO has announced the immediate availability of Business Alerts. This new business activity monitoring software furthers decision-making by "pushing" alerts to the desktops of managers and other key personnel upon the occurrence of pre-defined events as they are happening internally, at customer sites or along the entire value chain. Business Alerts scans mission-critical information systems on a 24/7 basis to notify functional areas of the enterprise and supply chain in real-time via LAN, WAN, Internet, Wireless and Fax technology.
According to Brian Stein, president SYSPRO US, "Business Alerts software represents a giant step forward in enhancing communications and decision-making throughout the entire supply chain. While ERP software, on the most part, offers after-the-fact data, Business Alerts, by providing real-time visibility into critical data, comes as close as possible to creating the 'zero-latency' enterprise."
Business Alerts automatically monitors massive amounts of business data to provide real-time event, exception alerts, workflow monitoring and executive summary reporting. Alert messages can be configured in HTML, Text, RTF and XML formats to further communications between disparate systems in a supply chain.
Alerts may be sent as often as required, i.e., continuously or daily, weekly or monthly at specified times.
Business Alerts can support multiple data sources within the same Alert, such as from ERP and CRM files. The Alert library can be mixed among several different data sources on the same server, and new data sources can easily be added. Special functions also allow behind-the-scenes data identification, including the ability to identify when a new record is added to a database and when important information has been changed in the database.
Business Alerts works with a company's existing data, including Microsoft SQL, Microsoft Access or any Microsoft/ODBC or C-ISAM compliant product. Installation and configuration are fast and easy. Within a day, SYSPRO Business Alerts can be monitoring for any defined condition, exception or event. SYSPRO provides a set of pre-configured alerts for the SYSPRO solution, thus allowing for quick implementation and rapid ROI. Business Alerts will immediately notify designated recipients when an alert
occurs.
Business Alerts enhances communication throughout the value chain, including the sending of XML documents, connection to multiple applications at the same time and the ability to run a program from an alert. SYSPRO Business Alerts is designed to support unlimited alerts. The delivery of alerts is also extremely flexible. Alert messages can be delivered directly to a file in lieu of sending a message or in conjunction with sending a message.
Many variable and customizable features are built into Business Alerts to ensure that the right information is delivered to the right persons in the most effective manner. Message recipient names and addresses can be typed in directly, pulled from local address books or can be "variable" based upon the database selected and individual records. Faxes can also be customized with information such as Name, Company, "From" Fax and choice of fax delivery, including faxing by e-mail. Messages via e-mail
can include attachments and an array of variable text. Other customization & formatting features include: Password protection (internal and from the database security profile); Ability to run either locally or on the server; Categorization of alerts by choice of folders including Public, Private (with extra security), application specific, and end-user specific; Formatting of messages with choice of fonts, colors, graphics and size. (This ability extends to variable information coming directly from the database.); and Previewing of messages with sample formatting with a select set of data from the live database before sending.
"Business Alerts has the potential to transform the competitive landscape for any business. By facilitating the most timely responses and the most informed decisions, Business Alerts can bring a whole new level of efficiency and customer service to an organization and value chain," said Stein.
