  6. Dynamics NAV Reporting Issues • Incompatible with SQL Server • SQL can’t “see” NAV data (e.g. Flowfields) • Security not respected by external SQL tools • Requires programming knowledge and cost • Expensive to add or modify reports • C/SIDE just gets harder and more technical over time • Technology is not Microsoft “standard” • Does not use Report Definition Language or SQL Reporting Services • Too many report writers • Slow, poor security • Force unwelcome learning of new applications • “the long and winding road” map • Not visually appealing, sometimes cumbersome • Limited color or font property management • No data visualization (charts or indicators) • Base NAV reports have poor content

  7. What Pivotier Does for End Users • Easy “ad hoc” reports without programming knowledge • Reports against any C/SIDE (base or add-in) table/field • Data visualization with indicators and charts • Simplified views of complex data • Saved Report Configurations (filters and options) • Out-of-the-box financial reports • Dynamic pages, rows and columns from dimensions and G/L data • Account Schedules using new technology • Unlimited dimensions without cumbersome Analysis Views • Multiple Options for report production • Report Viewer, Email, Excel and PDF • Web-based reporting with SSRS w/o NAV user sessions • New, improved base NAV reports • Work against all versions from 4.x onwards • Drill-down to NAV from all reports • Eliminates the need for multiple report writers

  10. Challenges for NAV Developers/IT Staff • SQL can’t see some NAV data properly • Flowfields • Option and Boolean fields • Language captions • NAV does not use newest Microsoft technology • Report Definition Language (RDL) • Microsoft Report Viewer • SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) • Visual Studio 2010 • If using RTC, still need to start in Classic version • Difficult to create Transact-SQL statements for: • Report Models • Data Sets • Too much time spent solving easy issues for end-users. • Difficult for end-users to understand a complex data model • 3rd-party tools violate security and performance controls
