Business Intelligence in Microsoft Dynamics NAV

Deliver meaningful insight across your organization with powerful business intelligence (BI) capabilities in Microsoft Dynamics NAV. With access to realtime data and a wide range of analytical and reporting tools—including graphical displays, online analytical processing (OLAP) cubes, and Web-based delivery options—people can make informed, confident decisions that help drive business success.

Personal and team Business Intelligence for tactical decision-making
Microsoft Dynamics NAV provides RoleTailored access to real-time, integrated data and analysis tools that can help individuals make fast, informed decisions. Role Centers give people visibility into relevant business activities, such as tasks, notifi cations, lists, key performance indicators (KPIs), and reports. Microsoft Dynamics NAV supports a range of business insight tools. Tight integration with Excel enables people to easily export data for analysis and manipulation. With Report Designer in SQL Server Reporting Services built into Microsoft Dynamics NAV, people can quickly create intuitive, interactive reports and create PDFs for broad distribution.

Organizational intelligence for strategic decision-making
With built-in tools, managers can create 360-degree views of business performance, create and view graphical displays and reports, and analyze detailed information. Microsoft Dynamics NAV also works with other sophisticated Microsoft applications to help your business meet exacting analytic and reporting requirements. For example, SQL Server Reporting Services and SQL Server Analysis Services expand the value of business data with advanced reporting, OLAP analysis, and data mining.
