Gain RoleTailored access to relevant, mission-critical information
People need access to information to perform their daily duties and to make changes that affect the broader organization. With RoleTailored access to information, Microsoft Dynamics helps you access the data that's right for you. It also can help you gain business intelligence to drive future growth of your organization.
Integration with Microsoft SQL Server enables optimal access to business intelligence information. For example, you can generate reports within Microsoft Dynamics using SQL Server Reporting Services, build and analyze data warehouses, and organize and use data efficiently—so you can make your important business decisions in less time.

Unlock potential with business intelligence portals
Information really is the lifeblood of your business, and anything you can do to help your employees, customers, and suppliers make better decisions faster is bound to be good for the bottom line.
Microsoft Dynamics solutions have built-in business-portal functionality to help you deliver applications, information, key performance indicators, and processes to employees, customers, and partners across your organization through a Web-browser portal. This makes it easy for everyone who interacts with your business systems to locate the information they need quickly and to complete common tasks with a minimum of extra effort.
Quickly create strategic business reports
Every business needs regularly scheduled profit and loss statements, in addition to deeper analysis, before expanding into new territories or adding a new product line. Microsoft Dynamics enables your managers and staff to get up-to-date information on business performance. People can use either predefined functions for simple reports, or use online analytical processing (OLAP) cubes when deeper analysis is needed. Your staff will be working with tools that resemble the familiar Microsoft Office Outlook and Excel, so they can get up to speed quickly.
Share information in real time
Microsoft Dynamics helps people share critical information with partners and colleagues, whether they’re down the hall or halfway across the globe. You can capture and share information via a Web browser, empowering team members to search, share, and collaborate in real time. And, Microsoft Dynamics enables managers to control access to sensitive information to help ensure that it's only available to the people who need to see it. You can feel more confident knowing your information is protected.
Empower decision makers at all levels
Microsoft Dynamics can also play a key role in organizational efficiency and customer-service excellence. Your employees—from warehouse personnel to financial analysts—will find it easier to record, classify, and access information, which can foster better decision making. For example, when a call center employee logs a certain number of complaints about a product, managers can be alerted via e-mail about a potential problem that needs quick attention.
