IBS introduces FINPAK, for financial reporting.


Integrated Business Systems (IBS IBS Irritable bowel syndrome, see there ) of Cedar Grove, New Jersey, has introduced a computer product that generates complex financial reports in highly-decorative formats and automates the entire process, announced Robert Entin, President. The comply provides a computerized real estate management system now used by approximately 80 property owners and managers in the New York New York, state, United States
New York, Middle Atlantic state of the United States. It is bordered by Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and the Atlantic Ocean (E), New Jersey and Pennsylvania (S), Lakes Erie and Ontario and the Canadian province of
, Washington and Florida metro areas.

"Unlike today's PC users who are accustomed to programs like WordPerfect or Lotus 123 which contain extensive graphics capabilities, most property managers use data-processing systems with only limited graphics capabilities," Entin explained. "While they can generate accurate reports for financial statements, rent rolls, arrears, aged payables, check registers expense analysis and general ledger General Ledger

A company's accounting records. This formal ledger contains all the financial accounts and statements of a business.

Notes:
The ledger uses two columns: one records debits, the other has offsetting credits.
, the reports lack a uniform look and such common decorative elements as boldface, true underlines and shading."

Furthermore, the typical method of report production for property managers involves timely manual processing and working with each individual program needed to prepare specific reports, as well as bursting, decollating, duplicating and collating -- in short, a massive paper job.

In contrast, the new product, called FINPAK, reaches into the data base and allows the user to produce reports with a uniform look and without any manual effort. A single command for each building or entity results in a comprehensive, cohesive report packet with table of contents, reports, appendixes, and other required materials, printed in page order and collated.

The result of nine months of research, FINPAK is now being tested by several IBS users including Manhattan-based Douglas Elliman Gibbons Famous people named Gibbons include:
  • Beth Gibbons (born 1965), British singer
  • Billy Gibbons, guitarist for ZZ Top
  • Cedric Gibbons (1893–1960), American art director
  • Christopher Gibbons (1615 - 1676), English composer, son of Orlando
