Monthly report pack grew and grew – Not being read – Taking longer and longer to produce – Always based on historic information – could only ever include what was held in sage – Looked at Crystal and other BI products, put off by long time to implement, licensing/training issues and separate system login... And of course cost!

4. The Beginnings Starting point (probably 18 months ago) – ASP knowledge from product selection tool – Overview knowledge of what matters in the business Initial reports – How have we done today/this week – What does product x cost to a customer in channel y – Who’s getting behind in payments, how much do they owe us, can they have a statement/copy invoices Live links into sage tables... interactive screens via a web browser
