Opera II: A scalable solution

There are three variants of Opera II:

• Opera II Small Business
• Opera II Enterprise
• Opera II Enterprise SQL

Opera II Small Business

A scaled version of Opera II, designed to meet the needs of smaller businesses not needing the level of analysis and management reporting provided by Opera II Enterprise. Opera II Small Business includes all of the standard functionality of Opera II Enterprise but is scalable to 5 users, 5 companies and 100 employee records. XRL (Excel Reporting Layer) and Advanced Nominal Ledger are not available with Opera II Small Business.

Opera II Enterprise

Opera II Enterprise offers flexible reporting and analysis functions combined with innovative alerting and scheduling tools giving customers complete control of their businesses. It is an intelligent business solution providing:

• powerful and flexible analysis
  Opera II Enterprise can easily and quickly adapt to users’ analytical requirements. Multiple dimensions make it easy to analyse key information, such as expenses or revenues, by Nominal Account, Cost Centre, Department or Project. Budgets can be specified at account level and at each dimension level. Fast, user definable Views in Nominal, Sales, Purchase and Stock provide customers with the flexibility to define their own level of analysis with full drilldown facilities to the underlying transactions and source documents.
• simplified order fulfilment, inventory and manufacturing control
  Opera II Enterprise has been designed to simplify control of the supply chain from end to end, helping customers to control inventory costs and optimise customer service efficiency. Opera II Enterprise simplifies the most complex order processing and manufacturing requirements; delivering fast order entry input, materials tracking and traceability, back to back order handling, allocation of stock or assembly kitting and much more.
• automated payroll & HR procedures
  Opera II Enterprise simplifies complex payroll procedures and ensures they are performed accurately, automatically and on time. The Payroll & HR solution has achieved the Inland Revenue Payroll Standard.
• real-time reporting
  Opera II Enterprise’s unique and contemporary instant messaging (IM) framework technology allows SMB managers to effortlessly create custom scheduled real-time reports, warnings and tasks for individual or workgroup distribution on either an automatic or timed basis. Once configured, these reports and warnings can be delivered directly to the desktop of designated recipients (including non-Opera II users) using a simple instant messenger (IM) styled interface, resulting in discreet pop-up information tabs, together with variable audible warnings. Opera II Enterprise IM recipients can also manipulate and reliably share critical business information among colleagues using Chat and other IM collaboration facilities.
• Sophisticated financial reporting
  Opera II Enterprise provides secure and powerful read and write access to the information held within Opera II via Microsoft Excel. Purpose-built functions allow dynamic access to data from the Opera II Enterprise modules to populate Excel worksheets. Multi dimensional analysis can be performed, by populating data into a data cube. Plus information, for example, budgets, price lists and stock adjustments, manipulated in Excel can be automatically written back into Opera II Enterprise, saving time and effort.

Much more than an accounting system, Opera II Enterprise is a comprehensive business solution, providing multi-company and inter-company financial ledger control with consolidation, including multi-currency, powerful inventory control, supply chain management, order processing, manufacturing, payroll & HR and Business Intelligence tools from one SMB application suite.
