Business Alerts
Sage Enterprise Solutions is pleased to announce that following an OEM agreement between
Sage Enterprise Solutions and Categoric software, Business
Alerts will be available for Sage Enterprise and Sage Line 200.
What is an Alert? An Alert is the notification of
KPIs,
trends, events, non-events,
exceptions, business rules, thresholds and emergencies, delivered
via static or dynamic eMail, pager, SMS, fax, HTML or XML.
Too much information causes confusion. Business Alerts for
Sage Enterprise and Sage Line 200 allows
users to manage through exception by giving proactive warnings
when action is required, allowing a business to focus on the
quality of information available rather than the quantity.
Business Alerts allow co-operation throughout the supply chain.
AMR states that, “Supply chain applications must be able
to communicate and optimise in real time, and be easily extendable
to partners outside the company,” and, “A Supply
Chain information backbone is required for eBusiness
fulfilment.”
Information must be personalised, communication must
be interactive, and recipients will be mobile.
Business Alerts for Sage Enterprise and Sage Line 200 will deliver many key business benefits to
your users and prospects:
