MASS EMAIL DOCUMENTS FROM SAP BUSINESS ONE WITH B1UP
Posted: March 19, 2012 Filed under: SAP Business One News | Tags: B1 Usability, B1UP, Boyum, mas email, Microsoft Outlook, SAP, SAP Business One, SB1 Leave a commentWith the B1 Print & Delivery from Boyum IT, it’s easy to create and email all sorts of documents directly from SAP Business One via Outlook.
Documents can be sent automatically, on a scheduled basis, or manually triggered and adapted before being sent. E.g. email all unsent invoices via mass delivery, and for those business partners who are due multiple invoices, group these documents into one email.
This automation does saves time and effort.
One B1 Print & Delivery user sending over 800 invoices per month estimated a total saving of €25,000 per year as well as the added bonus of having a relevant email database to use for future marketing purposes.
To use B1 Print & Delivery you will need the SAP Business One Usability Package which can be tried for FREE.

SAP BI ON DEMAND, BY THE POWER OF THE CLOUD
Posted: March 12, 2012 Filed under: SAP Business One News | Tags: BI, Business intelligence, CGA Enterprise Solutions, cloud solutions, Reporting, Reports, Sage 200, SAP, SAP AG, SAP Business One Leave a commentWhy do we use business software to manage our business? Generally, it’s because we want to know how we’re doing? Who’s our best customer? Which stock items are moving and which aren’t? Who’s our best salesman and who isn’t quite pulling their weight? This is basic information but you’d be surprised how many businesses don’t have easy access to this.
Getting full visibility of your business is crucial to its success but what if you don’t know much about ‘dimensions’ or ‘cubes’ or databases and or simply don’t have loads of cash to pay for expensive report writing?
Well, SAP has just launched a solution; SAP BI (Business Intelligence) OnDemand. It’s a cloud based reporting tool that enables users to upload data (e.g. a csv file) and generate meaningful, graphical representations in minutes.
Not convinced? Visit our BI OnDemand web page to watch the short video and see BI OnDemand in action for yourself. Then, why not try it for yourself for FREE? That’s right, sign up takes minutes and you too will be ‘visualising’ and sharing reports in no time, all via the power of the cloud.

SMALL BUSINESS HARNESSES THE POWER OF THE CLOUD
Posted: March 3, 2012 Filed under: General Articles | Tags: antispam, antivirus, bbc, Cloud computing, cloud solutions Leave a commentWe’ve believed in the power of the cloud for sometime now to the point where we’ve virtualised most of our operations. The BBC has also written an article about how the power of the cloud is helping small businesses.

WHAT DO CGA, BOX and PODIO HAVE IN COMMON?
Posted: March 1, 2012 Filed under: General Articles | Tags: box, cga, CGA Enterprise Solutions, cloud solutions, paperless, podio, virtual office Leave a commentAs you know, we’ve been going through some major transitions here at CGA Enterprise Solutions, and as part of that process we’ve adopted some tools to help do what we do even better!
We’ve become business partners with PODIO. PODIO enables us to create virtual workplaces to collaborate real time with our customers. Initial trials have been hugely successful and we’ll soon be making PODIO available to many more of our customers. PODIO helps us manage projects, deal with customer service queries and generally interact with all of our business partners via the power of the cloud.
We’ve been looking at trends over the past year and have learned that over 65% of customers contacting our helpdesk preferred to send us an email rather than pick up the phone. We believe this is because once an email is sent, an individual can go about their duties in anticipating of a reply versus picking actually being tied up on a potentially lengthy phone call. Furthermore, emails allow our customers to send us screenshots of the problem they are experiencing as well as attach any associated files.
PODIO goes one step further. It allows us to share all the same information in one space where collaborators can post files, graphics, and comment on a specific topic in real time. We’ve found this particularly useful with projects where the whole project team can view and comment on deliverables at their convenience. PODIO works in pretty much the same way as Facebook with a user friendly interface. It’s also highly customisable which enables us to tailor each work space to the needs of that business partner/project.
Last year we adopted cloud based document sharing solution, BOX, to share project documentation with our customers. This year we stepped things up a gear by virtualising our operations, this included filing and storing all of our documentation in BOX. Retrieving documents is now just a keystroke away, and there’s no need to worry about disaster recovery or version control as this is all covered by the power of the cloud. A paperless office is possible and we’ve proved it. Get in touch with us if you’d like to know more about how to manage your business on the move and via the power of the cloud.
But that’s not all, this week we were one of the first to learn that the guys at PODIO have developed a link with PODIO which means we can now easily access and share documents with our business partners in seconds.
