Timeline`s product offerings address the diverse needs of large to mid-size businesses with both simple and complex reporting requirements, facilitating the distribution of sets of information to the desktop in a client/server environment.

Working within the Microsoft Windows 95/Windows NT and Microsoft Office environments, Timeline has created a reporting application, which combines operational sophistication with industry-standard ease-of-use.

The products will consolidate reporting information from any platform - from client/server systems to proprietary general ledger systems.

They also act as reporting tools for budget and decision support purposes.

Timeline Analyst will:

  • Construct and intelligently maintain a financial data warehouse based on either Access and SQL Server databases;

  • Generate a client/server application allowing end-users to interrogate the data warehouse and enable drill-down to transaction level;

  • Address all aspects of the reporting cycle including consolidation and budgeting;

  • Permit unlimited multidimensional roll-ups;

  • Support unlimited user populations as a complete corporate solution.

They can also be deployed at a purely departmental level, and offer a complete solution that ensures data integrity and .

The various modules of Timeline Analyst provide desktop and reporting on information originating in a single system or multiple accounting systems within the enterprise. Timeline Analyst enables the user to view, create and distribute reports surfaced through Microsoft Excel. Timeline Budgeting offers a comprehensive budgeting solution that combines the sophistication of a custom designed budgeting application with the ease-of-use of a desktop spreadsheet.

Through these tools, corporate accounting data can be loaded into a local Microsoft Office database, where the individual user can develop his or her own analysis or personal reports, using standard Microsoft tools enhanced by Timeline technology. Timeline provides a completely integrated solution across all platforms.

Timeline Europe Ltd has appointed Harvey Jones Systems (Pty) Ltd as the official Southern African distributor for the Timeline range of financial reporting software products. The company has, in turn, appointed Brainware, which was listed on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange last month, as an official re-seller.
