Access Accounts Has Announced In-Built Business Alerts

Access Accounts Press Release 18/11/04

Software developer Access Accounting has announced details of two forthcoming enhancements to its SQL Server solutions: in-built business alerts and closest-ever integration with Microsoft Office.

Both enhancements provide new ways of viewing and interacting with information held in the accounts, while maintaining the security and integrity of the accounts database. And both are delivered by Access as part of its standard software suite.

Executive Desktop Business Alerts is an extension of the company’s Business Intelligence system, Executive Desktop. First released in 2002, Executive Desktop makes pre-formatted, real-time business reports available to every authorised member of staff.

Traditionally, these reports have either been accessed from within the accounts application itself, or via a simple desktop menu. Now they are being combined with e-mail messaging to provide a fully automated business alert system.

Alert e-mails containing relevant Executive Desktop reports are sent to staff whenever significant events occur, such as customers exceeding their credit limits or items going out of stock.

The user is free to decide which types of event trigger the alerts and precisely who receives them. This makes them ideal for improving and prioritising workflow, and helps to facilitate management by exception.
