BizNet review from the Accounting perspective

Jim SilverView profile
Controller in Finance and Accounting at Excel Industries, Inc. (501-1000 employees employees)

Pros

  • Consistent results across all users
  • Easy to create new reports
  • Financial statements can be created comparing many categories, Actual, Plan, Forecast, MTD, YTD, etc.

Cons

  • Some of our reports are very large and the time it takes to refresh data can often exceed 30 minutes. It seems complicated to problem solve reasons for this excessive time delay.

Accounting Manager in Finance and Accounting at Roppel Industries (51-200 employees employees)

Pros

  • Once a worksheet has been created, you can change a single cell and update the entire report. This makes it much easier than recreating a report every time you start.
  • It draws data directly from our database that can be filtered down in various ways. This allows us to get the data that we really need quicker.

Cons

  • The time it takes to draw information from the database can seem long and may make a person wonder if the program is working. It is, just be patient.
  • If you do not enable "Design Mode" while editing a worksheet, changing one cell can enable the data draw which interrupts workflow.

Return on Investment

  • We have been able to reduce our financial reporting time from days to minutes. We have cut out a lot of copy and pasting and now let the software do the work.

Usability

BizNet Suite for Sage 100 Users

Viola AveryView profile
Staff Accountant in Finance and Accounting at The Point Casino (201-500 employees employees)

Pros

  • BizNet eliminates the need to manually combine different GL details into a financial report.
  • BizNet allows for the ease of Excel-based manipulation of data for end-users needs.

Cons

  • Access to comprehensive training for new users is lacking. While the pay-based BizNet University has some useful videos it doesn't allow for other learning styles.
  • Having to create a separate OCBC data source and linked server for each arm of business opened is sometimes a hassle.

Return on Investment

  • It has created less need for man hours to create financial statements, which is a reduction in our payroll.
  • Because it is Excel-based, when it breaks, it is sometimes very tedious fixing it.

Powerful Consolidation Tool utilizing Excel functionality

Amy Bergrud, MBAView profile
General Manager in Finance and Accounting at Rosenthal - The Malibu Estate Wines (a division of Raleigh Enterprises) (201-500 employees employees)

Pros

  • Consolidates large amounts of data from Intacct accounting software into one spreadsheet.
  • Consolidates multiple companies, while still being able to keep individual company data in the columns for reference.
  • Easy to format with typical Excel formatting techniques - does not require much training in the way of the Excel side.

Cons

  • The connector to Intacct is a bit precarious and it often loses the connection.
  • Awaiting the new connector that should hopefully solve this Intacct connection issue.
  • Working in a networked environment on a Citrix server is difficult at best - hoping new tool with address this issue as well.
