Dynamics AX Business Intelligence and Reporting

Business Performance Management features in a Business Application enable users across an organization to access and analyse data relevant to their functional roles in a timely and secure manner to enable improved business insight and better decision making.  The term Business Intelligence or BI for short, is commonly used in the industry to label Products and Technologies that support implementing, integrating, and deploying Business Performance Management solutions to enable employees across an organization gain deeper business insight and make informed decisions.

The Microsoft Dynamics AX Reporting and BI Framework comprises tools and services to enable the implementation, integration, deployment, and use of business performance management features in Microsoft Dynamics AX solutions. The framework is a model driven Microsoft platform integrated solution that will continue to evolve in future releases of the product to support richer scenarios and advances in the Microsoft Reporting and BI platform technologies (Microsoft SQL Serve and Microsoft Office system) upon which it is built.

Business Analysis in Microsoft Dynamics AX helps you analyse important factors that affect your bottom line. You can compare vendor data, analyse warehouse operations, develop strategies to retain preferred customers and attract new customers, and create customer profiles and segmentation analyses.
You can share up-to-the-minute information such as customer purchasing and supplier inventory, and identify weak spots in your supply chain so that you can make the necessary changes.

Analysis tools help you answer questions like “How will switching my suppliers affect my profits?” or “What is my delivery lead time?”
You can analyse costs associated with employee retention and productivity. You can also do flexible transaction level data retrieval and analysis, for the data of one or many companies.
