Modern businesses are generating an increasingly vast amount of digital data thanks to the unprecedented rise of connected technologies. However, it's how you use data that really counts. Now that the amount of data in the organization is, on average, doubling every two years, it's harder than ever to make sense of it all. Leveraging data-driven insights doesn't just require a thorough understanding of which data is important; it also needs the right tools to extract and visualize the information. After all, raw data by itself is of limited use to human audiences. Furthermore, businesses need access to real-time insights to identify fleeting opportunities or to stop potential cyberattacks in their tracks.

Enabling Ease of Use Through Interoperability

MARS, which stands for Microsoft Access Reports Scheduler, is a business-intelligence tool that integrates with the world's leading database format to deliver important insights in real time. Automation and scheduling helps administrators act upon data as it's gathered, rather than missing out on opportunities by waiting too long. MARS is a straightforward yet enormously useful application that parses data from your Microsoft Access databases and sends scheduled reports per your requirements. Setting up a new report is a simple wizard-driven process. First, you can choose which databases and data types to record, before specifying the reporting intervals and choosing an output format. Currently supported formats include Word, Excel, RTF, TXT, PDF and TXT among others. Finally, you can choose where to send the reports - you can send them to email, SharePoint, online storage or even have them automatically printed. This way, administrators will get the information they need either hourly, daily, weekly or monthly or when specific predefined events trigger the reporting action.

Align Reporting with Your Routine and Business Priorities

As a dynamic and data-driven solution designed for modern businesses, MARS offers the versatility and agility you need to align technology with your operational goals. It can be configured to seamlessly fit in with your schedule and digital environment. One thing that every business needs is a scalable technology infrastructure. MARS provides full support for large databases to deliver accurate results quickly. It uses a dynamic set of processes, and it will distribute reports to respond to the specific needs of your business. For example, by basing reports on event triggers, MARS can send a report as soon as it detects a new database value or any other type of change, such as a modification to a file or receiving an email. This is especially useful if you want to use MARS to protect things like potential cyberattacks or other important events that need the immediate attention of an administrator.
