But there is good news!
Recent strides in technology that link Excel with databases now provide the basis for a totally new and revolutionary role for Microsoft Excel.
Finally, Excel can be relied on as a ‘formal reporting platform’. In fact, Excel can now be viewed as a gateway to initiate affordable desktop Business Intelligence |

| BuildSmart BI |
Buildsmart BI maximizes what you can get out of your existing construction data. A growing set of Standard Excel Reports fast tracks your custom reporting needs. Because the essential tool is Excel, empowerment is attainable as the solution is based on an application with which you are already familiar.
Firstly, the Buildsmart Excel integration module replicates your Buildsmart data specifically for the purpose of generating Excel reports. Then, using the power of Excel, you are able to customise the layout of the report. Lastly, close the loop by attaching the layout to the report query thereby achieving a fully automated, reusable Excel report.

Alchemex Reporting Solutions |
The Alchemex reporting engine consists of two main modules:
Alchemex Administrator
This is the real IT end of the solution. The Administrator is used to make connections to the database and to develop containers. Containers represent a virtual sub-set of the Buildsmart data and all the enhancements of the data for reporting, are done at this level. One container serves many reports.
Alchemex Report Manager
The Report Manager is used by the end user or report developer to develop or modify the actual reports. At run time, the data is dumped into Excel. Meaningful information is then provided via Excel presentation capabilities and this layout is linked to the report offering a fully automated Excel report. |
