Alchemex releases OLAP technology with version 6

Johannesburg, 20 Nov 2006

Alchemex, local software vendor of business intelligence tools, recently launched version 6 of its flagship product, Alchemex Reporting Solutions.

Proud of its credibility in the market supported by a very stable and mature product, Alchemex celebrates its fifth birthday with the release of version 6, including an OLAP module which adds rich analysis functionality to the traditional end-user query and reporting tools supplied in previous versions of the software.

The new module allows users and consultants to create cubes using the metadata sets already created for the more popular ERP, Accounting and Payroll install bases.

The popular Report Manager Interface can then be used to interrogate these cubes. This also means one common interface can be used for standard reporting, cube analysis, as well as connectivity to Microsoft Analysis Services.

"The key once again is not to just deliver a tool that can be used to build cubes where people need to understand the architecture of source databases," says Charles Teversham, director of Alchemex (Pty) Ltd. "We will be delivering ready built cubes for the install bases that we already support solutions for." This means that companies using Alchemex version 6 will be up and running quickly with intelligent reporting, translating to a rapid return on investment.

For decision-makers in all companies who must have instant access to relevant information to remain competitive, Alchemex is a totally flexible reporting solution that provides your choice of information formatted in Excel at the click of a button. Alchemex attributes its success so far to the focus placed on delivering solution sets for the more prominent ERP, Accounting and Payroll install bases in the local market and abroad. These include Sage-50, Pastel, ACCPAC, SYSPRO, Dynamics GP, SAP Business One, VIP Payroll, Sybiz Vision and others. The suite of pre-formatted templates delivered by Alchemex to these install bases allows for intelligent reporting from day one.

Version 6 also sees some powerful tools for developers and consultants. These include:

* A "Quick Pivot Wizard" that fast tracks formatting and creation of Pivot tables.
* A direct SQL query tool module for convenient reporting development.
* SQL container types that allow you to cut-and-paste SQL scripts directly into Alchemex to create instant metadata as a base for reporting.
* Improved integration interface (SDK) for software vendors wishing to integrate Alchemex as their reporting solution.

In a nutshell, Version 6 sees Alchemex delivering reporting and analysis functionality coupled with enhanced reporting and integration tools both for install base users as well as software vendors wishing to enhance their software's reporting capabilities.

Further to the release of version 6, Alchemex is celebrating the milestone of its fifth birthday by offering 50% savings on software and training, so now is the time to invest in a reporting solution that will deliver business intelligence to your desktop. The company offers a 60-day grace period on its software, affording you total peace of mind to take advantage of this discount, making this an offer you cannot afford to miss.
