The Financial Management Solution

Concert Series™ General Ledger (G/L) from NGS provides multiple company processing, a user-defined reporting hierarchy, and integrated spreadsheets that support online analysis and financial statement production.

Decision Support and Reporting

Concert Series G/L includes two decision support applications:

• ConcertPro™, a Microsoft Excel plug-in that lets you download and upload G/L data
• Management Report Writer, a query and report writing application that produces detail listings. In addition to standard reports, you can easily create your own custom reports without programming assistance.

Budgeting

G/L lets you budget accounts by accounting period and organizational reporting level. You can build two what-if budgets: an operating budget and an adjusted budget for each account per year—up to 4 budgets per account, per accounting period.

Security

The Concert Series security module gives you complete control over what your users can see and do. As you define each user’s access, menus are customized to display only the functions they can perform.

Zoom-to-Detail Inquiries

G/L provides online review of account balances and activity for user-specified dates. You can inquire into consolidated balances and drill down to review the detail journal entries that make up that balance. You gain quick and easy access to accounting information, without having to run reports.

Integration

Importing data from non-NGS systems is easy. G/L integrates smoothly with your existing applications, using what one experienced IBM system integrator calls the “cleanest and best documented outside system interface on the market.”
