Analyze and Understand
Your Data, Your way
Business Analytics provides two
offerings: basic and advanced. Both offerings
enable deeper understanding of information generated from
Microsoft Navision and help ensure that everyone in your
organization has easy access to the same accurate, current
data so that they can focus on spotting trends, problems,
and opportunities, and can generate reports that fuel smart
strategic and operational decisions.
The
Basic offering delivers Microsoft Navision information
in predefined or customized informa tion
units, called Online Analytical Processing (OLAP)
cubes, directly to users’ desktops. Users can access and analyze
data—within a familiar Microsoft®
Excel 2003 interface or another front-end solution—with easy-to-use
tools that enable straightforward analysis and provide a quick
overview of business conditions. Economizing their time, users
can easily define, customize, save, and re-use OLAP cubes.
As they develop a strong focus on understanding business conditions,
employees can more effectively practice successful business
management.
The Advanced offering supports
businesses that have more complex reporting and analysis needs,
while maintaining the simplicity and ease of use that are
hallmarks of Microsoft Navision. Working within a graphical
interface that is similar to Microsoft® Outlook®
2003, users can gain a 360-degree view of
business performance and quickly set up and review graphical
displays and reports. To arrive at a deeper understanding, users
can perform targeted analysis of detailed information.
With the Business Analytics Web Viewer, decision makers
have quick access to critical Microsoft Navision data from any
location with an Internet connection.
Gain Accurate and Timely Insight
into Your Business
With the advanced offering, you
can tailor Business Analytics for Microsoft Navision to swiftly
generate the information views that are most relevant to your
data analysis requirements. Business Analytics can be a critical
element in defining your business strategy.
Instead of waiting for the busy IT
department to generate a report of sales for a particular
product in a specific region, you can generate your own report
almost instantly. Rather than waiting for the end of the month
to analyze the performance of your sales team, you can generate
simple, effective analytical views at any time. You will be able
to make sound strategic decisions in little time.
Business Analytics includes pre-defined
functionality for frequently occurring reporting needs; it also
enables you to define and easily modify OLAP information cubes
to meet information needs specific to your business, or create
new cubes based on these relationships.
Business Analytics equips you to stay on
top of your business at all times. With the Advanced
offering, you can set up the system to notify you by e-mail if
crucial numbers change—for example, if your profit drops below a
certain percentage.
Sharpen Your Competitive Edge
with Smarter, Faster Decision Making
Using the data stored in
Microsoft Navision, Business Analytics can help empower
employees at multiple levels in your company to make confident
decisions based on facts. You can involve the experience and
contributions of a much larger group of employees in driving the
company toward increased competitiveness.
Business
Analytics gives you and your employees a targeted view of your
business that allows for clear overviews and quick comparisons
whenever they are required. You can rapidly spot trends and
identify weak areas and take immediate action. Because your
colleagues can access all of the analytical views, you can share
your insights, strengthen your arguments for a plan of action,
and back decisions up.
Help Each Employee Drive the Success of Your Business
 Your employees are experts in
their fields—so it makes sense that they should interact with
information that is critical to their roles simply and quickly,
without having to get an intermediary involved. Business Analytics
is a highly practical tool that allows you and your employees
to carry out report-writing tasks that were until recently the
preserve of IT specialists. This saves time and money and gives
key individuals the independence to get on with the job in hand.
