Reporting gives you a sense of your numbers, but it often doesn't provide the detail, flexibility and presentation that you need. Sage Intelligence gives you the power to view your business information; both financial and operational and at various levels. This information is based on different dimensions, and in the right format, to show you what's really making things tick.
