Transform Business Data Into Business Decisions with High-Impact Reporting from Executive Assistant ADP ARG Executive Assistant is a dynamic and versatile tool that lets you format and build reports using data extracted directly from your IBM AS/400® database. Executive Assistant's built-in templates give you the power to manipulate and present data in a virtually unlimited number of formats. Fast and flexible, Executive Assistant integrates completely with virtually every department, making data retrieval and comparison instant and convenient. Executive Assistant even lets you schedule your data requests with an automatic updating feature that gives you exactly the report you want, precisely when you want it.

Easy to Learn and Use
Executive Assistant's Windows®-based interface lets you see and manipulate exactly what you print.

Executive Assistant automatically extracts the data you want from the AS/400 database, then pulls it into a common environment (Microsoft®/ Lotus®) so you can manipulate it. For example, you can create the specific report you want to use, move it into Microsoft Excel, build your own custom-made calculations, graphs, and pie charts, and then transfer everything into another spreadsheet or word-processing package for inclusion in an update memo to your comptroller or CPA.

Create Professional Reports
With Executive Assistant, building professional reports from your desktop is easy.

It's 4:30 in the afternoon, and your comptroller just called asking for an up-to-date report listing customers who have received lease incentives in the last month. He wants it by 5 p.m. so he can use it for a meeting tomorrow morning. You pull up the latest information knowing it's dull and hard to read. But with Executive Assistant's powerful editing features, you quickly add borders, import the corporate logo, shade areas for contrast, and convert data into a 3-D pie chart. You can complete all this in minutes -- without even breaking a sweat.

Schedule Your Reports Automatically
Executive Assistant provides a scheduling feature that lets you program the system to provide up-to-the-minute reports on a periodic basis. For example, you can set Executive Assistant to run a report of the day's vehicle sales activity every night after you go home. When you come in the next morning, the report is ready and waiting.

Security
Executive Assistant allows data extraction and manipulation for report creation only. Data cannot be changed and reinserted into the AS/400 database. With Executive Assistant, security is not an issue. It allows you to protect sensitive data -- such as payroll and personnel files -- by setting up your own system IDs. Executive Assistant's security features mean you don't have to worry about the accuracy of your data. The system only lets users pull data for report creation.
