After Microsoft Announces FRx Retirement

The long-assumed industry standard financial reporting tool, Microsoft’s FRx is nearing the end of it’s life cycle. As of December 31, 2010, no new licenses (this means viewers or designers too) will be issued. As of December 31, 2012, Microsoft will discontinue support.

While it is some time away, some businesses are already searching for an alternative, Others might be looking for an alternative to the Standard Financials from MAS 90. Others still may still be looking for an option that doesn’t require re-keying data into Excel for analysis. If you into any of these categories, I suggest you join us for a free webinar highlighting BizInsight.

BizInsightTM, from BizNet software addresses the typical pitfalls of Excel. 100% Excel-based, BizInsight comes pre-integrated with “drag and drop” live links to your MAS 90/200 data. It installs quickly, requires no any additional hardware, and is easy to learn. In addition, it comes with on-the-fly business intelligence out of the box. All from within Excel.

If you manually key spreadsheet reports month after month or are you afraid to touch certain Excel reports for fear of breaking them; if you are looking for an alternative to FRx or Standard Financials, reserve your seat next Thursday, September 24 at 10:00 am.
