  Robot/CPA  

The iSeries Accountant of Many Talents

Information is power. Whenever a decision must be made, real numbers can help prove your case. Getting these numbers can be difficult, but Robot/CPA, Help/Systems' powerful iSeries job accounting package, makes it easy. You get the information you need to make decisions and influence users.

Works hard so you don't have to
Robot/CPA's automatic setup procedure makes it easy to start. It collects the data and creates the objects you need--automatically. Robot/CPA offers flexible inquiries, manages accounting journals and history files, summarises data, and provides reports to help you understand the information.

No-hassle user charge-back system
Robot/CPA's usage pricing system is a breakthrough in flexibility and power. You can customise user billing to meet your management goals. You can set up fair usage prices to charge your users, or allocate your monthly costs to users and departments automatically based on IT resource use for the month. And, Robot/CPA's billing files can feed your general ledger system for paper-free, automatic billing.

Tracks usage
Let Robot/CPA tell you who signed on to your system and what they've been doing. Robot/CPA provides statistics about who signed on, the jobs they ran, and the reports they printed.

Reduces waste
Users often waste computing resources. To reduce this waste, use Robot/CPA to translate computer use into money on a billing statement:

* Change users' printing habits by charging for each type of form used.

* Establish surcharges and discounts based on the time of day or subsystem.

* Motivate users to conserve disk space by using Robot/SPACE to charge for disk storage.

These ideas and more are described in the Robot/CPA brochure.

Predict future needs
Robot/CPA's powerful query system predicts computer use weeks ahead based on growth statistics. You can predict CPU and paper use, disk activity, number of transactions, and average response time. Use the information to balance the load between LPARs, justify system upgrades, project disk storage use, or measure the impact of a new application. You can display the information, graph it, or print it in a report. Learn more by requesting our information kit.
