FRx vs. (versus) Microsoft Managment Reporter

Friday, April 23rd, 2010

FRxBuzz, a blog about all things FRx has done a shootout between FRx and it’s soon to be replacment Microsoft Management Reporter

This was the first time I really looked at this new product and I was surprised and happy to learn that it’s still VERY similar to FRx and not a complete redesign. It’s completely modernized, but if you are familiar with FRx, the learning curve looks very short. I think it is supposed to convert FRx report definitions but I need to confirm.

The one major issue is this solution is only available for Microsoft Dynamics. So if you are on, sage Sage MAS90, MAS200 or MAS500, Sage is moving to a new set of financial report writers that may be as good if not better, but will be different from FRx and thus will have a longer learning curve for those familiar with FRx.

Here is the article.

How to use Pivot Tables in Excel

Friday, July 17th, 2009

Here is an ‘oldie but a goodie’ from our original site that we’ve had people ask for often. This is more relevant for Microsoft Office 2003. These can be used nicely with all our ERP packages including:

Microsoft Dynamics NAV (Navision)
Microsoft Dynamics AX (Axapta)
Microsoft Dynamics GP (Great Plains)
Microsoft Dynamics SL (Solomon)
Sage MAS90, MAS200, MAS500 (MAS 90, MAS 200, MAS 500)
SAP Business One

PivotTable Reports 101

Let’s suppose you’ve compiled a large list of data – for example, sales figures for every product your company makes. But now you’re ready to distill some meaningful information from the data. For example, you might want to answer the following questions:

· What is the total sales for each product by region?

· Which products are selling best over time?

· Who is your highest-performing salesperson?

For these and other questions, you can create a PivotTable^® report – an interactive table that automatically extracts, organizes, and summarizes your data. You can then use the report to analyze the data – for example, make comparisons, detect patterns and relationships, and analyze trends.

Read on to discover what you can do with a PivotTable report.

Dynamics GP or MAS 90 and MAS 200. Which is a “Legacy” system?

Monday, July 13th, 2009

An interesting blog post here that compares the definition of ‘legacy’ and sees how that definition applies to mas90/200 and Dynamics GP (Great Plains).

In the end, I don’t think the development environment matters to most end users unless they have serious professionals on staff that do code development and know a specific language or environment.

The post is here.

Accounting Software Shootout

Tuesday, June 30th, 2009

We often get asked if we will do live software comparisons between leading ERP, accounting, distribution or manufacturing programs.

We’ve tried to do live scheduled seminars but have found there wasn’t enough interest in local companies coming out for a day to see this.

On our site, we have extensive information and demos on the leading solutions from Sage, Microsoft and SAP including Sage MAS90, MAS200, MAS500, Microsoft Dynamics NAV, AX, GP & SL as well as SAP Business One. The landing page is HERE.

We have often looked at individual prospect’s and client’s needs and shown more than one application for them and us to decide which is the best possible fit and this has worked out well in the end. That being said, if you would be interested in a live web based product shootout please email us at info@clientsfirst-us.com and if you could also post a comment below, and if enough interest exists, we’ll do a scheduled shootout.
