IBM i (iSeries, AS/400) Strength, Desktop Productivity

Do you prefer to spend time managing your business, not your information technology? NGS Concert Series offers the best of two worlds: IBM i's reliability, security, and data integrity—coupled with the personal productivity benefits of Windows. For users, this means ease of use. For management, this means fewer worries about down time, lost data, inappropriate user access and scalability. In other words, more time is focused on business.

To satisfy your Intranet requirements, Concert Series can be deployed to support a Web-browser user interface. This capability provides users with a point-and-click, graphical user interface without requiring you to install software on their desktops. It also allows your non-Windows users to access the software. Users only need a Web browser and authority to access the applications on IBM i.

Windows Access

The Concert Series financial software can provide Windows users with easy, secure access to real-time financial data. Your reporting needs are also covered with applications that work hand-in-hand with IBM i's Db2 database to provide fast, user-tailored output.

ConcertPro™ is a Microsoft Excel plug-in that provides a bridge between Concert Series G/L, A/P, A/R and Excel. With ConcertPro, you can download your financial data from IBM i to automatically update your Excel spreadsheets. You can also use the upload feature of ConcertPro to upload journal entries and budget data from Excel to your Concert Series applications.

In addition to ConcertPro, our Management Report Writer gives you an arsenal of standard reports and tools to create customized reports with ease.

Interfaces

Concert Series includes outside system interface (OSI) utilities that help you prepare, edit, and pass data in from your existing applications.

Security

Concert Series security delivers the following:

• Cross-application control—enabling management to limit access user by user and option by option.
• Menu customization—users see only those applications and operations they can access.

Navigation

• Quickly move both within and between applications.
• Enjoy quick, efficient movement from task to task, both within and between applications, provided by Concert Series NaviGuide™, the cross-application navigation system.
