The Next Generation for Opera is here! So Why Upgrade?

If you are already using Opera II, we'd like to provide you on all the reasons your company would benefit from upgrading to the next generation - Opera 3. The latest release is Version 1.20 which marks the second phase of Opera II, released as of late June 2011. As we've already seen with Phase 1, this is only the beginning and there will be more information posted here and on the main Opera 3 information area, so please do keep an eye out for further updates and please contact us if you'd like to discuss it further.

Delve into the latest from the Next Generation

Scheduler - included as standard

Run some of your Opera 3 tasks at a time that suits you: schedule tasks to process outside the normal working day, minimising disruption. There are numerous tasks you can schedule, including backing up your Opera 3 data, and running Period End in the Nominal, Purchase and Sales Ledgers. You can view this functionality at work in the demonstration video from Pegasus.

Notification Services - included as standard

Running key business processes that require exclusive access to the system couldn't be easier. With Opera 3 Notification Services you can easily distribute messages asking users to log out and, if they fail to do so, enforce an automatic shutdown of all Opera 3 users, as well as set a lockout period during which log-in is restricted. Check out the short demonstration video to find out more.

Make Document Management available to everyone in the office with Document Management Desktop

The new Document Management Desktop application brings the benefits of Document Management to everyone in the office. Document Management Desktop offers simple and easy-to-use capture and retrieval of documents for non-users of Opera 3, at a fraction of the price. Read the datasheet for more information. We now have a demonstration video from Pegasus to show you more!

Improve accountability and run effective stock management with Stocktake

The new Stocktake application extracts product information from Opera 3, so that stock items can be allocated to worksheets for a manual count. On completion of the worksheets, management can run a cross-check and make corrections and adjustments to be fed back into Opera 3 to update stock levels. We now have a demonstration video from Pegasus to show you more!

Develop your company with precision planning from the improved CRM

New functionality has been added to the CRM applications, to allow for more precision planning. The new Summary Scheduler has been added to Helpdesk Management to provide an easier, alternative way to schedule/reschedule and view calls, by presenting a summary view of all resources for the chosen month. This means that calls can be scheduled in bulk, rather than from the individual calls themselves. With the addition of Generate PM Calls, users can now create in bulk any preventative maintenance calls that may be due for equipment items. Users will be able to generate all calls due in a month or future months, without having to create each call individually. This allows users to easily create and stay up-to-date with any planned maintenance required against equipment records.

Make you work life easier with Opera 3 with

Open Period Accounting

Nominal Ledger periods can all remain open in the previous, current and up to the next three financial years, so you can post transactions to any of those periods from any Opera 3 application that posts to the Nominal Ledger. In addition, Opera 3 now allows you to rectify mis-posted Nominal journals. Watch the short demonstration video to find out more.

Report output to Excel

Reports can now be output directly to Microsoft Excel, for further data manipulation. This applies both to standard reports and to those created in the Reporter application. There are also additional charting controls built into Opera 3 reporting tools such as Views. They make the display of information much easier to interpret and enable colour modification, printing and copying to the clipboard, for pasting into Microsoft Word or Excel.

Improved reporting

In Opera 3 you can run multiple reports at the same time. Reports can stay open while you navigate to other areas of the system. You can minimise one and open another or even tile reports on screen so you can compare them side by side. And the new search routine creates a list of bookmarks that link to the relevant results of your search. In addition, Pegasus Instant Messenger (PIM) automatically distributes real-time, business critical information based on data held within Opera 3 via pop-up messages. PIM Desktop comes as standard when you upgrade to Opera 3.
