Microsoft FRx Features Overview
Give your people insight into your business.
Microsoft FRx can help make financial reporting and analysis easy, fast, and accurate. This helps your people drive marked improvements in efficiency and effectiveness, provide timely and accurate information, and accelerate decision-making with financial reporting.
Microsoft FRx was developed to fulfill the market need for easy, intuitive, and accurate financial reporting. By using information already set up in your general ledger, Microsoft FRx automatically taps data about fiscal periods, charts of accounts, detail transactions, and various types of balances. It even recognizes positive and negative variances and posted and unposted transactions.
Improve operational efficiency.
Give your people the tools they need to do their jobs well and increase their productivity. Microsoft FRx makes everyone more productive and effective. It makes it easy to provide comprehensive, timely, and relevant financial reports with up-to-the minute information on a scheduled basis or in an instant. Business insight helps consumers both inside and outside of your organization answer their own questions about data by drilling down all the way to the transaction detail level, perform necessary analysis, and make better, more informed decisions.
Streamline the flow of information.
With Microsoft FRx, the delivery method of your financial reports can be as versatile and customized as the information that they contain. Without having to connect to your general ledger, you can choose from a variety of traditional or graphical output options, including Excel, FRx DrillDown Viewer, online analytical processing (OLAP), or extensible business reporting language (XBRL) instance documents. Then post your reports to a secure Intranet site or e-mail them to be accessed immediately by onsite and offsite users alike, saving time and money in the process.
Get the right information to the right people.
Imagine never having to answer the question "Where did this number come from?" again. With Microsoft FRx, your people are empowered to do their own investigation by drilling down to transaction detail-level information from a single summary report. You can generate a single, comprehensive report, and easily send it to all report reviewers. Because security rights are predefined at the Reporting Tree level, each recipient can access only the information that is appropriate to their viewing rights.
Discover trends in your business.
With Microsoft FRx, you always know where your organization stands financially. You can make important, proactive decisions to address your economic highs and lows, without having to wait until the books are closed. Financials reports of all types can be accessed from the Report Catalog, updated with the relevant reporting date, generated using a variety of traditional or graphical output options, and then distributed to decision makers through a secure Intranet site or through e-mail to facilitate the timely analysis that today's turbulent market demands.
Optimize your general ledger system.
Because Microsoft FRx can be integrated with many of the leading general ledgers on the market, you can leverage the investment you've already made in your general ledger, and add on increased functionality as your needs become more sophisticated. In fact, Microsoft Forecaster, a dedicated budgeting and planning application, is also available to you. Depending upon the general ledger that you use, Microsoft Forecaster can work with or without Microsoft FRx to take your company to the next level in financial effectiveness.
