VineyardSoft Corporation - How to Become a Data-Driven Organization

“If only we had known . . . “

Not what you want to hear from your customers.

Because – by the time your customer utters those words – it’s already too late. They – and you – have become firefighters, trying to put out a fire in their business data that could have been prevented in the first place.

Prevented – by your customer becoming a “data-driven” organization.

A data-driven organization is one that empowers their ERP and CRM data to be pro-active; one in which you enable Sage ERP Accpac and Sage CRM to literally “tap your customer on the shoulder” when an important business condition warrants their attention.

This session will describe what it means to become truly “data-driven”, including the identification of the eight key types of business conditions whereby you can enable your customers’ data to “speak to them”. Also discussed will be a unique classification of software referred to as “Business Activity Monitoring” – a combination of data mining, alerts, and workflow.

Shown in this session will be some of the most asked-for data-driven scenarios for both Sage ERP Accpac and Sage CRM, including automated trend-analysis alerts. And -- a free data-driven ROI Calculator will be provided to all attendees.

4:30 – 5:20 Whistler Ballroom A

TaiRox - TaiRox Software

This session will illustrate by case study how TaiRox products are used. Our products and services are developed in the context of three strategies:

Serving the interests of Sage 300 ERP customers
Targeting high end Sage 300 ERP customers
Increasing partner profitability

At the most basic level, customer interests are served with processes that keep their data error-free. TaiRox will demonstrate its Integrity Testing Service in this session. Old and new data repair tools will be briefly mentioned. This session will also present a broader picture of serving basic customer interests.

Enterprise customers expect tools such as Copy Company or SOX User Permissions to be included in a high-end solution – tools that do a perfect job in one tenth the time it takes to do manually. The TaiRox SOX Suite is a collection of applications that help bridge the gap between Sage 300 ERP and enterprise solutions.

TaiRox will describe strategies that partners are using to grow their bottom line towards a consistent 25-30% of revenue AFTER premium employee and principal salaries and bonuses have been paid.

Don Thomson was co-founder of the original Accpac development company and Senior Vice-President of R&D at Accpac International. Don has created TaiRox, a software development company providing software and services that bridge the gap between Sage 300 ERP and enterprise solutions.

You can also reallocate GL Entries to AR Customers, AP Vendors or other GL Accounts in the same company.

The new IET TRADE module facilitates buying and selling between related companies by creating an AP Invoice automatically from an AR Invoice (and vice versa) as well as creating a PO Order, Receipt and Invoice from an OE Order, Shipment and Invoice respectively (and vice versa).

Vineyardsoft – The Two-Types of Business Intelligence

Call it what you will – BI, OLAP, or “slice-and-dice”, everyone wants business intelligence.

Unfortunately not all business intelligence tools are right for all people. The BI software solution that is perfect for executives and managers is rarely the right fit for your clients’ non-managerial staff. And that’s why industry analysts have recently begun to divide BI tools into two distinct sets; “strategic” BI solutions and “operational” BI solutions.

And it should come as no surprise to us that just as ERP and CRM software present different user interfaces to different types of users, so too must BI solutions differ according to the role of the person who needs them.

This session will examine the differing BI needs of executives and non-executives. It will focus on the unique needs and capabilities of a non-executive BI solution, while comparing and contrasting it with the more well-known strategic BI software solution.

Referred to as “operational BI (OBI)”, the core of this session will detail what capabilities constitute an OBI solution and how to go about selling and implementing such a solution within a client’s organization. (A companion white paper will be provided to all attendees.)
