Multiview took an entirely different approach to our client/server offering. We started with a clean sheet of paper, new
development tools and a new database technology. The result is a completely new type of general
ledger and financial reporting module. The basic intent with the Mutiview suite of products is
User Productivity and Application Value.
What do we mean by User Productivity and Application Value? User Productivity is simply stated:
The ability of an end user to get his/her job done in the time allotted by the corporation.
Application Value is the ability of the software to provide the tools to allow end users to reach
the highest level of job performance.
It is a truly simple but powerful concept. Multiview software will enable the end user to meet
specific corporate objectives for a job description because of the design of the software.
Multiview's unique approach to organization and reporting on the activities of the organizations
allows end users at every level to achieve their information goals easily and quickly. Multiview
achieves this high level of performance through two concepts.
The first concept is an object-oriented approach to the organizational structure, the accounting
structure and all the activities the organization must accomplish day to day to move the company
forward profitably. First, we separate the physical structure of the organization using building
blocks called Units. This is a generic name for anywhere a debit or credit can be used to record
the activity of the corporation. Examples would be: legal entities, divisions, departments, and
cost centers.
The second part of this concept is directed at the fiscal side of the corporation. Multiview
allows a single picture of the accounts to be built and maintained across multiple entities i.e.
corporations, divisions, cost centers and departments. This single chart of accounts concept
results in a very small chart that has extraordinary power from a reporting perspective.
The third part of this concept is what Multiview calls the project code. Project code represents
various subledger structures and activities. Literally they can represent any activity, process,
project or program it takes to run the corporation.
The object-oriented approach coupled with Multiview's unique ownership concept allow for the most advanced
reporting and inquiry capabilities available in today's complex financial application market
space. The power of any financial application rests in it's ability to report online, real time the
results of the corporation. Not just P&L, Balance Sheet and product line information but any
performance metric that affects the company's ability to perform profitably. Multiview's
capability in this area is unparalleled in the industry.
