New Product: Synexsys LITE

June 15, 2005 - Relatively speaking, Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SME) have the same needs as Large Companies. However, they don't always have the same budget.

Today, with Synexsys LITE, these SME's can benefit from a professional tool, totally comparable to Synexsys Inventory (Standard Version) but limited in size. The main difference being an unbeatable price.

Version 3.1 available

15 mai 2005 - In spite of the fact that Version 3.1 is a minor release, it brings major improvements to the product.

Link Tree. Now you can represent in a treeview, the relations existing between managed Objects. For example, a treeview showing Sites - Departments - Users - Equipment or another one representing Leasing Contracts - Leased Equipments. Link trees, like all other Synexsys classification trees are also representing powerful filters. Thanks to them, you will never have to type complex SQL statements for your queries and reports.

New Reporting Wizard. Reporting is very often the weak point of management software. Most of the time you'll end up developing your reports from scratch through more or less complicated SQL statements. With the new Synexsys Assistant. You'll save up to 100% of development time. Within 4 to 5 simple and logical steps, you can create a report with grouping and calculated operations. You are then free to put the finishing touches to the reports in the new integrated reporting toll.

New Reporting Module. With this brand new and fully integrated module, you can create all the necessary reports you'll need for your management. For example, Lists, Lists with Grouping, totalisation, calculation, Forms, Multi-level Cross-Tab, Stats, ...

Many new functions in the Helpdesk Module. Conditional triggers can be placed on any field of the Call Sheet to automatically send e-mail and NetSend notifications or even more sophisticated actions like a "shell" on external applications with parameter passing .

Multi-sites support. Synexsys Inventory always offered the possibility to work over multiple sites. Today the data transfer flow process is totally automated.

Database optimization. From now on, Large Accounts will benefit from the latest database splitting that has been done in Synexsys. The splitting allows a better resources distribution on the server(s) and increases data integrity.

New Field Types. You can create an unlimited number of fields for each Object Type. New Field Types such as Rich text, Tree, Link, etc. has been added to the existing types.

Common Fields. Now you can create fields that will be "common" to "certain" Objects Types. For example: both a PC and a Printer have a price but a "User" doesn't. By defining the Field "Price" at a global level, you can associate it to the sole Object for which this field make sense.

Automated external data importation. With Version 3, you can import any list or database of assets (Objects) in Synexsys. For example, if you want to manage Users within Synexsys Asset Management, you can automate their unattended importation every night.

Customization. Each Synexsys User can create his own Summary Screen within Synexsys so that he will see only the information that is pertinent for him.
