This is the second post in our five-part series. In part one we looked at how dashboards can provide easy information access to your team members based on their specific roles. Today, we’ll discuss the push towards empowering users while lessening the business intelligence (BI) and reporting burden on IT.

In a perfect scenario where money were no object, your business would have a personal IT advisor for each one of your employees. However, we believe it would be better if you could redirect that money to other, more effective, channels. Just imagine if all your employees could manage, obtain and act on data on their own. Your people would have all the info they need, and your thinly resourced IT teams could focus on the bigger technology picture of your entire business.

The reporting and analytics tools within Microsoft Dynamics NAV help you answer your specific business questions quickly through, high-impact reports, charts and simple analysis designed to be easy, usable and adaptable for everyone. In other words: you don’t need to have a special set of IT skills in order to obtain the reports you need.  

The MS Dynamics NAV has built-in hundreds of out-of-the-box standard reports. Users also have the ability to tweak and adapt these standard reports—changing fields, adapting terminology and adding inputs from other data sources. And you can do all these things without needing any external help. With a reporting, collaboration and distribution platform based on Microsoft SQL Server, Office and SharePoint, you and your employees can take full advantage of your business solution investments and get the business insight you need. Again, without IT involvement!

Just sit back and watch how your employees’ productivity (and IT’s) skyrockets, as you put the power of BI and reporting in their hands.

In the next blog post, we’ll take this one step further, and show you how a business solution from Microsoft can make business intelligence as mobile as your team is
