FAIRFAX, Va. (BUSINESS WIRE), March 16, 2010 – Datatel and CompuSoft Development, LLC have collaborated to offer higher education Synoptix for Datatel™, a sophisticated, user-friendly financial-reporting software application that presents complex financial data clearly and concisely for fact-based decision making. Synoptix for Datatel is scheduled for general release during the second quarter of 2010.


The new application integrates tightly with the Datatel Colleague®, Datatel’s enterprise resource planning (ERP) system designed specifically for higher education. By leveraging Colleague’s General Ledger, Synoptix for Datatel can present fiscal information in a familiar spreadsheet format that allows one to drill down to more detailed data, and it can produce a comprehensible, boardroom-ready report.

Sheppard, director of partner and external relations at Datatel. “Along with Datatel Colleague, this application will help those in charge of their institution’s fiscal health to get an instant insight of where they stand and then to make data-supported, impactful decisions.”
