The
dramatic management productivity gains of BSME Financial
Management System are now available as a remote Internet
application. BSME FMS 5.0 - Internet Edition offers
a powerful online management of financial analysis as
its acclaimed predecessor, but also includes built-in
secure Net access.
Important business decisions are increasingly made on
the fly, highlighting the growing need for incisive,
up-to-date information, accessible even away from the
office.
For an immediate, accurate
picture of a they are.business's
financial environment, BSME Financial Management System generates
truly relevant and meaningful operations analysis. It gives
senior management the information needed to proactively drive
business strategy, and to identify and forestall imminent
problems, wherever At the heart of BSME is a fully featured,
standalone accounting and business management engine. Its
powerful business modelling capability, flexibility and ease
of use keep businesses operating efficiently, ahead of the
competition.
The activities of any business take
place at many levels. BSME uniquely models the interdependence
among many individuals, products, departments and markets,
flexibly and accurately representing the actual structure
and operations of the company.
Real-time data processing means that current
figures are only a click away, enabling users to instantly
view complex data consolidated by, for example, business type,
country and region, in a single view across the whole enterprise.
Users can immediately generate up-to-date reports based on
projects, salespeople, etc.
As well as all the traditional financial
statements (trial balance, profit and loss, balance sheet,
aging reports etc), BSME can instantly generate, say, a detailed
ledger for an individual salesman over an irregular period,
across multiple accounts. Or a P&L account for two combined
sales regions but excluding internal transactions.
Or almost any other information.
But BSME is much more than a superb accounting
package.
This new Internet Edition of BSME Financial
Management System delivers all the punch of BSME's information
and analysis, securely via the Net. Even away from office,
senior management can perform powerful drill-down analysis
on current data.
Users are assured of convenience
and security, as BSME incorporates the latest Internet standards,
including XML, Secure Sockets Layer and digital certificate
technology.
Analysis takes place
efficiently on the server, not a remote client machine such
as a notebook computer. This reduces slow and costly data
traffic because the server is both close to the source data
and better able to run the application logic. Results come
through faster and data integrity is better preserved, especially
under a multi-level deployment.
Every business is different, so BSME's powerful analytical
environment makes it simple for non-technical users to custom-define
reports. At the click of a mouse it generates multi-viewpoint
financial analyses tailored by country, department, sales
team, project, product line or other factors. It includes
comprehensive multilingual (unicode) support, Tradition Chinese,
Simplifed Chinese, English or any other unicode supported
language together with true multi-currency capability for
individual transactions.
Regular reports are easy to define
and save for re-use, ensuring that timely and comparable information
is always available. Incisive one-off analyses can be called
up in a moment. And BSME reports are created and named to
meet internal needs - there is no need to rely on generic
templates.
Real-time user-defined reports simplify standardisation of
consolidation reporting across departments or companies within
a group, even for highly detailed information and analysis.
BSME is a unique financial management
solution that provides the incisive data analysis necessary
to support crucial strategic and operational decisions. Building
on the familiar tools and interface of Microsoft Excel and
Word, or dedicated report software, it reaches deep into an
organisation's information resources to build customised representations
of historic, current or projected financial performance.
BSME Financial Management System
enables authorised company officials to drill down deep into
the data, through the general ledger to individual voucher
entry level, and even beyond that to images of original paper
documentation (when BSME e-storage is installed).
Behind the scenes, a direct
link between original data and report structures enables a
flexibility that other systems cannot match. This vastly increased
efficiency not only reduces costs but opens up enormous opportunities
for fundamentally more effective management and financial
operations, such as budget monitoring and control, monthly
and irregular voucher verification, multi-level cost centre
analysis, debtor and creditor balances, and selections with
match-analysis codes.
BSME makes it easy to
navigate complex database structures through the familiar
MS Excel presentation layer. Users can easily create their
own reports, selecting and laying out data for internal or
external presentation, using Excel tools such as graphing,
charting and pivot tables. Financial models, information or
even organisational structure are simply modified to reflect
emerging or potential business scenarios.
Data security is assured at all times,
in storage, operation and remote transfer. Targeted management
control of system access ensures that confidential data is
seen only by authorised eyes.
Taking advantage of the Internet's
most powerful widely available security technologies, BSME
Financial Management System delivers the ultimate in distributed
data security, without the cost of a dedicated virtual private
network. It includes full support for SSL (Secure Sockets
Layer) for secure data transfer and digital certificates to
guarantee identities, for complete and totally confidential
Net access to real-time analysis of corporate financial data
from anywhere in the world.
BSME is easy to learn and easy to use,
even for busy senior managers. Intuitive pull-down menus,
hot keys, button bars and other features provide an environment
that responds naturally to users expectations. Reports, charts
and figures are accessible through Microsoft Excel or Crystal
Reports.
For simplified training and
ease of operation, data is entered at a single voucher entry
level. Data can be accessed either directly, for fast known
requirements, or through a familiar tree-view presentation,
similar to Microsoft Explorer. A powerful search facility
ensures total accessibility.
Internet-enabled access, powered
by an XML interface, ensures that wherever you go, total control
of your business goes with you.
This innovative solution
removes the need to be familiar with arcane details of new
software. Senior management has instant access to the kind
of enlightening information about the business that can blow
away the competition - even when far from corporate information
systems.
