BIS.AX

An essential component of every ERP project is reporting, the analysis of which gains importance in supporting decisions. Furthermore, every company should avail itself of one single truth, i.e. each employee starts from the same figures.

Within this frame, it is crucial to distinguish three different types of reporting needed in a business environment. As a rule, reporting takes place on three different levels:
 
  1. A need for daily reporting and print-outs of transactional data
  2. An ever-growing need among middle-management for analysis and the possibility of extensive drill-down functionality on transactional level
  3. A need for so-called dashboards, indicators and KPIs (Key Performance Indicators) on executive level
 
These multiple needs can be met as follows:
 
By means of standard reporting and custom-made modifications Dynamics AX will meet your daily reporting needs. Given the frequency with which these data are requested, classic reporting direct from ERP is the obvious tool.
 
Microsoft Office Excel is beyond any doubt the perfect tool for analysis on a higher level. At the same time, this tool allows most users to work in their own comfort zone and to carry out analyses on their own.
 
 
However, there is more to it. For company management it is undoubtedly utterly important to control and quickly obtain a detailed overview of the company in all its different identities. The cooperation between Ad Ultima and Evidanza is targeted at configuring a powerful Business Intelligence System integrated with Microsoft Dynamics AX. This solution should allow your company to take the necessary actions and decisions based on measured Key Performance Indicators, dashboards and corresponding pivot tables set up per functional domain: sales, stock, purchase, production and finance. Moreover, it abounds in drill-down possibilities.
 

Ad Ultima’s Business Intelligence solution BIS.AX, developed by Evidanza, is fully based on the Microsoft BI technology and therefore completely integrated with Microsoft Dynamics AX (on the level of database & application).
