"We are all unique!" Sound familiar? Of course it does. It's a saying that we hear throughout our lives. We all have unique characteristics and quirks that make us who we are. They are the features of our being that stand out and make us individuals.

This can also be applied to business. Each business has certain characteristics that distinguish it from the rest - with its own culture, products or services, structure, and especially, with its own data.

Because Sage Intelligence realises this, we have created the Report Utility - a piece of software that gives you on-going access to a constantly updated library of automated, Microsoft Excel based, financial and business reports, which are easily customisable to suit your unique business requirements.

"No longer do you have to wait for the latest Sage Intelligence software release to get your hands on new, additional reports that will add value to your businesses," states Ruth Gray, Product Owner at Sage Intelligence. A library of free reports are now easily accessible to help you better analyse specific data that is relevant to your business, thereby allowing you to make faster, more informed decisions. "The Report Utility is a new tool that will enable you to automatically download and import these reports, saving you a lot of time," says Gray.

While additional free reports have been available on the Sage Intelligence Community for some time now, the Sage Intelligence team identified the need to make them more easily accessible and usable. Once installed, the Report Utility will automatically detect which Sage accounting or business management solution you are running, and show all the free reports available for your product.

You can then select the required reports to be automatically imported into your Sage Intelligence Report Manager for immediate use. "The Report Utility eliminates the need to manually search for reports - and will deliver them straight into your Sage Intelligence reporting tool," adds Darryl Smith, Technical Director and Lead Architect of the Report Utility.

The additional reports are created to provide added value to you, beyond the standard financial and operational reports that are available with Sage Intelligence Reporting. As Gray explains, "The additional reports are created based on your ideas and feedback. Most of you would be able to use the additional reports as a basis for customising your very own reports, specific to your business needs. Of course, a bonus is that all Sage Intelligence reports are Excel-based, which means that Sage Intelligence gets your data into the report, and then you can just use the familiar face of Excel to customise it."

The additional reports to be created are prioritised based on the number of requests received per idea/suggestion, ensuring that you get what you need, when you need it.

So, what does the future hold for the Report Utility? "This is only the first version of the Report Utility, and we will continue to bolster the tool with more intuitive and engaging features going forward," says Gray. Smith adds that the real value is in the additional reports that the Report Utility will make readily available to you. "In terms of future plans, it will be all about developing and delivering new reports that can be accessed very easily via the Report Utility," he says.
