When it comes to SharePoint, you really have nothing to fear but fear itself.  SharePoint deployments are not inherently unpleasant or expensive.

Since the initial release of Microsoft SharePoint, Socius has been successfully and cost-effectively deploying SharePoint sites for our clients to help them connect and develop a corporate culture, manage documents and data, and surfacing business intelligence to people across organizations.  Through these, and many other experiences, we’ve developed proven implementation processes that we have streamlined to offer at a fixed rate.

The Socius SharePoint Rapid Implementation offering enables you to get up and running quickly, while knowing exactly what to expect and how much it will cost you.  The package includes installation of SharePoint Foundation, the creation of one standard site, aligning the organizational brand standards to SharePoint’s theming engine, and your choice of up-to three sub-sites for $2500.

So how do you know if you are on the road to any of these issues?  Ask yourself these 9 questions:

• Do I know how my server is performing compared to where it should be performing?
• Do I know what the biggest bottle-neck in my SQL server is?
• Am I confident that my SQL server is protected in the case of a failure?
• Do I want to reduce time run reports and increase the efficiencies of employees?
• What capacities is my SQL server is capable of today and how long I can expect it to cover my needs into the future?
• Do I have capacity planning reports?
• Are my backups configured properly and am I really as protected as I think?
• What is an acceptable downtime for my mission critical business applications?
• Do I have the right resources to be able to properly monitor and manage my Microsoft SQL server?

If any of these questions raised some red flags and you do not have the right resources in place to manage and monitor your servers properly, you don’t need to worry alone. This is why Socius offers its SQL Health Check & Performance Optimization offering in which we check your SQL servers twice a year enabling us to find any issues that could lead to bigger problems if left unattended and ensures that your SQL servers are operating at their optimal efficiency.  These services are available for an annual fixed-fee.  Learn more about our SQL Health Check & Performance Optimization here.

New Report Designer Add-In

Sage Intelligence already features a handy Report Designer module that allows you to create new reporting formats using a simple drag-and-drop interface.  But with the Report Designer Add-in, you have even more control over all aspects of reporting design and layout.  The add-in features additional drag-and-drop Excel financial formulas that provide more flexibility to create highly customized reports.  It also works in conjunction with a new In-Memory processing engine that delivers fast performance.

See It in Action – Watch this short video to get a glimpse of how the new Sage Intelligence Report Designer Add-in works.

Reporting Trees

A while back, we also saw the introduction of Reporting Trees which allow you to create a visual model of your company reporting structure without changing the underlying financial data.  This recent enhancement for Sage Intelligence Reporting is perfect for organizations that have a hierarchical structure in which departments (or other business units) report to one or more higher level units.  Watch this short Reporting Trees Overview video to see it in action.

Free Report Templates

A number of free report templates have recently been made available for use with your Sage Intelligence Reporting module.  In fact, an entire Free Report Templates Group has been created on The B.I. Community to foster a spirit of sharing among your fellow Sage customers and third-party developers.  The group is part of a vision to fuel a proliferation of reports beyond the standard templates that ship with the Sage Intelligence module.

P.S. If you’re using Sage Intelligence Reporting and haven’t already joined The B.I. Community for Sage 100 ERP, go online and check it out today.  You’ll get access to demo videos, product specs, downloads, chat rooms, discussion forums, and everything else you need to get the most out of your Sage 100 ERP intelligence reporting tool.

Like other commonly used Microsoft solutions, Microsoft Dynamics NAV is easy to learn and easy to use. The first way to improve productivity is to provide your team the right tool for the job. Combined with SharePoint, users can share data and reports quickly and easily, which encourages teamwork, the second way to boost productivity. If you have colleagues in different offices or in the field, you can communicate by Skype or Lync. In just a click of the mouse, you can have a face-to-face meeting with a co-worker or customer instead of setting up a formal online conference call or meeting.
