Press Release Body = Alba Spectrum Group announces Interactive Reporting
availability for Microsoft Dynamics GP 9.0 and earlier versions (on Microsoft SQL

company uses GP ERP

The Company

Championship, LLC, which started doing business in 1963 under the name D & R
Industries, Inc., distributes billiard fabrics and supplies to the pool table
industry. Since 1990 it has manufactured the \"Championship Line\" of billiard fabrics
and has since changed its name to Championship, LLC. Due to the high quality of its
billiard fabrics and its dedication to customer service, Championship, LLC currently
enjoys a dominant market share in the United States.

The Challenge

In 2006, the company implemented the Microsoft Dynamics GP back office software
package which included general accounting modules, sales order processing,
purchasing, and inventory control. With the new system in place the sales
force-including sales management and company management-needed an efficient and
expedient way to analyze the sales data. The few sales reports that Dynamics GP
included were not robust enough for the management's needs. In addition they wanted
to incorporate the sales history from their old legacy system into the sales reports
in order to show sales trends that extended to multiple years.

The Solution

The company decided to use Interactive Reporting (IR) for Dynamics GP to provide the
needed sales analysis functionality. With its user-friendly interface and robust
report-generating engine, IR provided a central point for sales representatives and
management to analyze and track their sales performance. And by extending the
standard Dynamics GP Sales Mapping to include the old legacy data, analyzing years
worth of sales became a matter of a few mouse clicks.

The collection of reports that come out of the box-coupled with the ability to
modify the layouts-provided immediate and useful results. In addition, the
outstanding speed of the program (when installed on a fast IIS server) generated
reports in seconds. The flexibility of sorting, grouping, and drilling down the
displayed data allowed the user to review multiple report layouts from the same
generated report. IR for Dynamics GP provided the depth and breadth of analysis that
standard sales reports could not.

Interactive Reporting has been the highlight of the new system implementation at
Championship, LLC, and undoubtedly it will be at any company that chooses this
product. Company management is highly impressed with the capabilities that came
already built into the program. This implementation has been a great success!
