Are your customers asking about Business Intelligence solutions for Microsoft Dynamics NAV? Are they frustrated trying to use Excel and the embedded reporting that comes with Dynamics NAV? Until now, there were limited solutions to this problem. Reports could be custom-built using Reporting Services. BI front-end tools were available, but then reports and analytics had to be developed. Many users purchased pre-built Analysis Services cubes. And, as always, customers tried to dump data into Excel. All of these solutions had severe limitations, which became especially noticeable as the customers’ requirements grew.

As a result, these companies were not able to easily discover the key information that would have helped them turn that data into better business decisions. Business owners missed out on opportunities to grow and expand their business because they did not have easy access to data. These businesses now demand analytics, dashboards and reports that will provide them with key metrics, including data from sales, orders and inventory, to name a few.

Business Impact realized that a new generation of business intelligence and data warehousing tools began to hit the market a few years ago. But it was not enough to just make the tools available - it required a vision of the marketplace. By utilizing these tools, Business Impact has developed business intelligence template solutions that run against industry standard ERP and CRM applications.
