Sage Adds New Business Intelligence Tool to Sage Timberline Office
Sage Timberline Office Connector saves hours of time analyzing and reporting data by seamlessly connecting Sage Timberline Office data to Excel
11/18/2011 9:00:00 AM

BEAVERTON, OR (Nov. 18, 2011)—Sage North America today announced the release of Sage Timberline Office Connector, a business intelligence tool that allows contractors to query, report, and move data back and forth between Microsoft® Excel and Sage Timberline Office, saving time and increasing productivity.

Sage Timberline Office Connector includes a wide variety of pre-built templates that capture common industry needs and limit the amount of time spent getting data into a usable format.  Capabilities include the ability to automatically retrieve data from Sage Timberline Office for analysis and data manipulation using familiar Excel reports, worksheets and graphs.  Additionally, data stored in Excel worksheets are automatically mapped to Sage Timberline Office, improving accuracy involved with database maintenance and updates and reducing risk through better access to data. Once set up, spreadsheets and their connections remain intact, allowing customers to easily refresh data as needed without demanding additional reformatting.

“Many contractors we talk with are doing more with less, and need to reduce the time they spend on reporting and data manipulation, and spend more time on growing their business,” said Jon Witty, Vice President and General Manager of Sage Construction and Real Estate. “We are always looking for ways we can give our customers a competitive edge and make their business life easier, such as Sage Timberline Office Connector.”

Sage’s construction and real estate products include Sage Timberline Office, Sage Timberline Enterprise, Sage Timberline Estimating, Sage Master Builder, and Sage Peachtree software that are industry-tailored to help companies optimize financial and operational performance. With over 40 years in the industry and more than 40,000 construction and real estate customers, Sage product lines have been recognized as the most widely used applications for construction estimating, job costing, accounting, payroll, and project management in the mid-market, according to the Construction Financial Management Association's (CFMA) 2010 Information Technology Survey for the Construction Industry.
