Opera 3 SQL SE is a fully integrated system of Financial, Supply Chain Management, Payroll and Personnel applications that blends the traditional with a new user experience.
You can buy the applications that you need, when you need them, and expand the solution as your business grows. And the functionality in each application in Opera 3 SQL SE can be customised to your requirements.
The interface is powerful, flexible and intuitive and includes a ribbon bar that organises the applications into logical panes or groups for easy navigation. The display order of the panes can be rearranged and most-used processes can be collected together in the Favourites group.
The ribbon bar is arranged in the following groups:
Group |
Applications |
|---|---|
Favourites |
Most-used forms, processes, reports and external applications |
Financials |
Sales Ledger, Purchase Ledger, Nominal Ledger and Cashbook |
Supply Chain Management |

Payroll and Personnel |
Reporting |
EC VAT |

System Manager and Importer |
Multiple processing forms can be open simultaneously. In addition, a given form can also be opened many times. For example, two instances of the Sales Ledger Processing form can be open in order to view or post transactions for different customers at the same time.
The size and position of forms within the Opera 3 SQL SE
desktop can also be controlled by each user. A form can also be maximized
to occupy all the available desktop area within the desktop.
Most processing forms provide an Action command button. Clicking this button or using the right-click menu on a List tab displays a menu of commands that control the further processing with a selected record.
The commands are grouped within command separators according to the type of action. The Action menu can also be displayed by right-clicking a record displayed on a List tab.
Opera 3 SQL SE is a client-server application, so some of the work is completed on the client workstation PCs and some is completed on the server. Server-side processing reduces the movement of data traffic between the workstations and server, thereby minimising network traffic.
The server is responsible for the work involved in the periodic heavy-duty data intensive processes. This has the benefit of lifting the work burden from the workstations so the processors can be used more effectively for other things, and minimising the data traffic between workstations and the server to reduce any impact on the network by the processing task.
The workstation PCs are responsible for most of the processing required for the other everyday tasks in Opera 3 SQL SE.
Opera 3 SQL SE has been designed to accommodate bespoke requirements.
The Pegasus Solutions Marketplace programme offers add-on applications for the Opera 3 SQL SE solution, from accredited Pegasus Developers. This makes it simple to make modifications or to add more features, to provide extra functionality or enhanced information so the software solution matches specific requirements.
The Opera Desktop can be used to display the Pegasus Help Centre and a chosen web site in a web browser interface that sits in the Opera 3 SQL SE desktop. The Opera 3 SQL SE desktop can be resized to allow other forms to be used simultaneously, which makes it possible to use the online Help or check the latest details at the same time as using the product.
The Pegasus Help Centre is a resource that provides information for all products supplied by Pegasus Software. This includes user guides for each product and details about the latest releases. A search box is available alongside a facility to bookmark pages.
The home page is automatically set to the Pegasus Software website when Opera 3 SQL SE is installed. This can be changed by using the Web page to display setting on the Preferences form in the System Manager.
