RE: BPCS Finacial Reports

[Brent Minaker <brentm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Some of our clients have experienced similar problems.  Most have chosen to 
use Cognos Impromptu.  With the Release of the Cognos BPCS Headstart 
package, a majority of the setups have been completed.  Within a couple of 
hours, you can be building Financial reports directly against your BPCS 
database(along with any other BPCS reporting requirements).  As well, 
template reports have been provided to get you going even faster.

The added advantage, is that it can also provide you with flexibility to 
grow into the area of business intelligence.  The integration between 
Impromptu and Powerplay provide you with additional options for analyzing 
your Financial information.

The only thing required to get started is an ODBC connection to the AS/400 
(the one with Client Access is fine).

If you would like any further information, contact Brent Minaker or Ray 
Martin at Radius Information Systems Ltd.  416-626-9556, or email 
brentm@radiusinfo.com, or raym@radiusinfo.com.

We can link you up with other BPCS clients who are currently using this 
product for Financial reporting purposes.

P.S.  Full disclosure.  We are a business partner with Cognos, as well as a 
 Systems Integration consulting firm, specialising in BPCS.

We are currently running BPCS 6.004 full CS on a AS/400 and we are having 
problems getting timely financial data from BPCS.   We have tried to use 
Uservision for financial reporting and find the performance unacceptable. 
 Just wondering what tools others are using to do BPCS financial reporting.
