The information that you manage everyday with Mago.net is a precious corporate asset. A focused analysis of the corporate information allows making the right decisions at the right time.

Mago.net provides an integrated tool, Woorm, which is useful in order to create and modify reports. Nevertheless, at times, a report is not enough. The report lacks in providing immediate interpretation through, for example, graphs. Also, the report does not have the dynamism and elasticity that often proves to be of crucial importance in certain areas.
The solution, offering dynamism, accuracy, elasticity and immediacy in reading and understanding the company, is called InfoBusiness. InfoBusiness is the Business Intelligence solution, made in Zucchetti, perfectly integrated with Mago.net thanks to the InfoBusiness Connector module.

Just imagine being able to view your sales numbers organized according to the total amounts instead of according to the client. With a report, you should normally ask for an update (...a not easy task). With InfoBusiness all you need to do is double click!

With the Business Intelligence, you can see the data organized in a different format instead of the usual list: you can see the information distributed on a map, upon which (thanks to different color shades) you can immediately identify the different areas profitability. Through the use of a histogram or pie chart, you can rapidly understand the trends and distribution of the company dynamics. The dashboards instead, provide you with clear and immediate indicators in order to understand if you are facing positive or negative information. You can also the see the information in a chart format but with dynamism unknown until today. You can drag the information so to create on the spot groupings, and you are free to enter information that was initially ignored...in other words, you now can analyze the data how you consider most suitable, hence gaining benefits from an efficiency and efficacy point of view for your everyday work.

With InfoBusiness Connector, Microarea provides you with a tool perfectly shaped to your company needs. Thanks to the full integration existing between Mago.net and InfoBusiness it is you who decides which data shall be managed by the Business Intelligence. You can analyze the data concerning the financials and forecast accounting, the credit and debit exposure, the data referring to the jobs, the sales/purchase cycle, and warehouse.

Thanks to the new module, Mago.net can now be considered as a software perfectly integrated with a Business Intelligence tool, hence ensuring top reliability. The procedure specifically created by Microarea, jointly with the InfoBusiness Development team, is in fact able to generate automatically the information infrastructure necessary for the correct functioning of the Business Intelligence.
As usual, Microarea will keep in high regard the practical side of the offered solutions. InfoBusiness Connector allows operating straightaway thanks to swift and easy settings.
In order to show you (in an entertaining way) the characteristics of the new module and the potential benefits for your company, a short video (with subtitles in English) has been made available. You can watch the video on the Microarea YouTube channel...and you can enter a comment! 

Efficacy, integration, autonomy, precision and simplicity: make a quality choice and rely on the support provided by InfoBusiness Connector, provide your company with a real Business Intelligence!

Over 100 new functions and a new module will be available to you in Mago.net 3.6, the new release ready for download to all End Users covered by the M.L.U. service.

by Fabrizio Perricone

Any company or professional position that relies on Mago.net in order to improve their everyday work will surely enjoy the benefits brought about by the new features included in the 3.6 release!

A new module will surely enrich the functional performance level of Mago.net: Credit Limit Management. The module ensures full control over the credit limit made available to your customers, managing in a fully customized way, and thanks to effective graphical descriptions, the status of the credit limit throughout the various phases of the sales cycle.

Mago.net has been enriched with a whole series of new functions: let us have a look at various significant highlights.

The storing of the documents with EasyAttachment proves to be a vital solution for any company: today we can search for any type of document, found within the archive, simply by typing part of the text of the electronic document! The employment of the barcodes, for the filing of each document, guarantees a storing system increasingly precise and simple.   

For those of you who are often out of office, or work on Mac, you will be glad to know that from now on you can export in MS-Excel the data of the reports also from the Internet browser thanks to the EasyLook module.

EasyBuilder is the present and the future of the customization: also in Mago.net 3.6 there are several new features providing incredible advantages to all developers, increasing the possibility of creating tailored solutions whilst facilitating the access to the resources.

Within the WMS area (logistics), the barcode management is now extended also to the GS1-128 type, highly flexible and able to contain a large quantity of information, which is essential within certain market segments such as the food industry, where the item code, lot and expiry date are information obtainable thanks to one single scan: an outstanding time saving! The 3.6 release also makes available the so-called cross-docking, the procedure that makes the goods receipt and shipment an exceptionally fast and clear-cut procedure, this when there is no need to stock the goods within your warehouse. The management of the Wi-Fi handheld devices (ensured by the WMS Mobile module) allows managing at 360 degrees the receipt of the goods, this besides featuring countless improvements ergonomically speaking, hence making the terminal work in a faster and easier manner.  

The allocation order procedure, along with the analysis on the single order, in the purchase cycle is a truly outstanding feature. Such procedure analyzes contemporarily the head data and the data found within each line of the customer order, providing for the delivering of the goods only if the latter are available: an excellent tool to rationalize the transportation costs.

Moving on to the customers, suppliers and contacts masters, we can find new important information, such as the certified e-mail address (PEC) or the GPS coordinates of the various HQs.

The administration is also "on the move". A great number of new features, including an enhanced functionality regarding the Declaration of Intention, which can be addressed to a specific Customs office, to the fundamental subdivision according to the rates of the invoices issued but not yet collected, necessary for the correct filling out of the VAT annual statement. What proves to be also very useful is the new procedure that allows to automatically close the payables and receivables accounts in the bill book of the customers and suppliers, this with a residual balance lower to the value applied to the end user. The same procedure allows creating journal entries. In Mago.net 3.6, the cost centre and the jobs from an analytical point of view are optimized throughout the comparison between the actual and budget values, this in order to keep track of the company profitability. The accruals and deferrals are now available also in forecast accounting and the creation of an intra-year balance is now really simple! 

The manufacturing control area also moves fast forward thanks to its integration with the WMS, this throughout the management of the downloading of the components from the pre-shipping document. The lots generation in manufacturing has now become even more flexible and able to adapt to the requirements of each company thanks to the new parameterizations. The versatility of the manufacturing orders, which allow modifying the phases also should certain manufacturing operations be running, has been enhanced further.

All of the above is just a tiny part of what the new Mago.net release 3.6 is able to offer to your company. If you wish to find out more, read the release note and make sure you are covered by the Microarea Live Update Service in order for you to proceed with the downloading of the update. If instead you want to receive more information regarding the M.L.U. service, get in touch now with the Microarea Sales Department.

A large number of Partners attended the Microarea Convention 2011, held at the Hotel Parchi del Garda in Pacengo del Garda on the 10th of March.

Many new features including the forthcoming issue of Mago.net 3.5

Product Marketing Manager 

Three hundred people attended the Convention 2011. Remarkable the presence of the foreign Partners: over 20 of them arrived from Hungary, Switzerland, Bulgaria, Poland and Romania! 

The expectations have not fallen short: many topics have been set forth and highly important new features have been announced. Three new modules of Mago.net 3.5 have been officially presented and illustrated throughout visual demonstrations. The three new modules just mentioned are Warehouse Management System (logistics), EasyBuilder (customisation development tool) and EasyAttachment (documents filing management).  

If you wish to find further information on the three new modules, check out the blog herewith: you will find specifically relating articles.

Respecting the timetable became a quite difficult task mainly due to the highly consistent number of people attending the event. Nevertheless, thanks to a efficient "back-end" work, the delay in regards to the schedule was very limited.
The first presentation was held by President Enrico Itri: a clear-cut, precise and incisive picture of the past, present and (above all) of the great ideas and innovations that Microarea has in store for the future.   

Next was Fabrizio Perricone, the Product Marketing Manager. He introduced to everyone, thanks to a breathtaking video, the new logo and the graphical design that will come with the release 3.5 of Mago.net. Furthermore, he highlighted the excellent results obtained by the Microarea website along with the main services provided to the Users and Partners by the website itself.   

The Sales Director Mario Aschiero, throughout a brilliant speech, brought everyone's attention on the outstanding results obtained in 2010, identifying the increase in the number of end users as the strategic goal that the Microarea Partners need to pursue in 2011. Such goal is the only "medicine" able to fight back the product contract cancellations due to the financial crisis that caused the closing down of many Mago.net user companies. Mr. Aschiero also underlined the ethical aspects that Microarea and its Partners share in order to offer high quality services to all Mago.net users.   

The Microarea Award 2011 ceremony just before lunch break: magnificently presented by the Microarea International Sales Channel Manager Réka Ujj, the Partners awarded were Micron Srl (best Italian Partner), Magoarea Ltd. (best foreign Partner) and Mario Infante of Giga Srl (best contribute to the Microarea Community).

The after lunch was characterized by the outline of the new features available in the 3.5 release of Mago.net: four sessions during which the slides were set a side in order to give way to actual demonstrations.

The interview to Andrea Rinaldi (CTO ERP division) offered the opportunity to highlight the new "cool" characteristics of the product! Integrated Skype call, address verification via Google, template report, organisation chart management and lots more...also if, to say the truth, the 25 minutes of the presentation were too few to show the over 130 new features available in Mago.net 3.5!   

The second demo which took place in the afternoon focused on EasyAttachment with a Q&A between Anna Bauzone (Project Manager) and Fabrizio Perricone. The document storing system made in Microarea proved to be truly simple and efficacious.

Next came the Marco Perasso and Matteo Canessa (two members of the development team) presenting EasyBuilder: easy to use and incredibly effective, EasyBuilder is the tool which allows creating customisations in Mago.net. More than often the demo was interrupted by the spontaneous applauses of the audience.   

Giuseppina Sperico (Logistics Team Manager) and Francesco Ricceri (he who developed the software of the hand held devices) showed to everyone how the new module Warehouse Management System can significantly improve the logistics management of the warehouse. The solution for the management of the Wi-Fi handheld terminals was presented during an interesting unscheduled presentation. 

Towards the end Mario Aschiero described the "Go to Market" of the three new modules: aggressive prices and full support to the Partners on behalf of Microarea

Last but not least, a truly interesting "Q&A" session.

What a busy day it has been, with lots of information provided and positive communication: the audience followed all presentation with great attention well past six o'clock in the afternoon!  

Multimedia material will be soon available on the Microarea channels (official website, Youtube..).

The global market is increasingly restive: new contacts, new business opportunities, new partnerships. Microarea is now multi-lingual, reaching out to its many markets!
