Overview
Excel-based drill-down to any ERP module from Excel Reports
Drill Anywhere© is an exciting extension to any report writer (such as FRx, XL Reporter, Crystal Reports and Reporting Services) that can export reports to Excel. It puts information at your finger tips from within and beyond your ERP system! Anyone who regularly reads and reviews reports in Excel will save time and effort by now being able to retrieve the “story behind the numbers”, regardless of where the data resides.
From any report (generated into Excel), you can now use Drill Anywhere to drill down to transaction detail data in your ERP system or in any other ODBC-compliant database on your network. Users will no longer have to call the accounting department to ask why a balance is different than they expect. With a mouse-click, they will be able to retrieve the actual transactions which made up the summary balance (e.g. from the GL) they are viewing in the report and then continue drilling into the related sub-ledger detail! And most importantly, they do not have to be licensed users of the source system, which will help to keep the expensive “seats” or users of the ERP system to a minimum.
Drill Anywhere can save a company hundreds of hours per year spent requesting and researching data in reports. Finally an easy-to-use tool that provides end-users with the power to easily and instantly find the data that is important to them. |
