Spring has finally arrived! For many businesspeople this year, the changing of the seasons holds more symbolic meaning than usual; more temperate weather seems to have rained down lots of new business opportunities that, until now, had remained in a frozen state. 

For those of you who did not have a chance to attend a recent E&A user group to hear Anirban Basu, a very knowledgeable and entertaining economist,  you should know that the numbers clearly support our intuitions.  Anirban presented convincing evidence that the economy is, in fact, significantly improving.  As business people, the time for hibernation has passed. It’s time for us to make our move.

Of course, the economy always returns in some sectors much faster than others. It might return slow and steady or in some cases, fast and furious due to pent up demand that has been suddenly unleashed. This presents the challenge of intelligently assessing your customer base, business trends and opportunities quickly and accurately.  Your company needs to act decisively and capture its fair share of new business before your competitors take it all away.

E&A has responded to customer requests for improved decision support tools by developing Pro Decisions, a breakthrough yet affordable solution for ERP data analysis.  We have been pleased by the response from our customers. With each demonstration of Pro Decisions at our local user conferences, the excitement continues to grow! 

Pro Decisions leverages the power of Microsoft Excel, an affordable software that most end users already know how to use. Pro Decisions is an easy to use data analysis tool that will help your business gain insight into all of the key performance indicators needed to drive profitability and growth.  Pro Decisions extracts business data from your ERP into a database that provides preformatted views with the ability to easily filter and fine tune the information to your specific requirements.

Truly, decision support has never been this affordable and easy to use!  In fact, several E&A customers who liked our Pro BI solution but never purchased due to its higher price point have told us that Pro Decisions might be just the solution they’ve been waiting for.

Remember: the purpose of business technology is to remove a business constraint or bottleneck so that your business will grow in market share, efficiency, and profits.  Let’s make sure you can get the information from your ERP system to make better decisions. We want to help you make this Spring a time when even greater things begin to happen for you and your company.
