Running a successful business depends on the ability to gain insight into business data and extract and present information in a meaningful way. A company’s employees need to be able to transform data into actionable insight no matter where they are located in the organization.
Microsoft Dynamics provides business insight through the tools users already have on their desktop. Flexible and comprehensive reporting tools, simple business intelligence capabilities and a Microsoft SQL platform for data access provide the right fit for the needs of small and mid-sized companies.
Business performance depends on the ability to track activities that span from financial transactions and performance reports to compliance records. Accurate monitoring requires a wide range of integrated capabilities. Microsoft Dynamics NAV delivers monitoring capabilities to provide organizations with the comprehensive view of the information they need through Microsoft SQL and native reporting options.
Document Reports and Standard Reports
With Microsoft Dynamics NAV, you can monitor the state of the business in both generic and predefined ways within the application.
Data Lists provides the end user with the ability to make targeted data overviews through filterable lists of business data. Each list can be customized to the individual depending on roles and needs.
Document Reports enable a precision layout of data with emphasis on presentation of data as well as distribution. Take advantage of the Microsoft Word layout option in Microsoft Dynamics NAV where users can quickly create well-designed invoices and other customer and partner-facing documents that draw information directly from Microsoft Dynamics NAV, and email them with personalized messages. Users can create or customize the report in Microsoft Word, save it back into Microsoft Dynamics NAV and decide which layout option is preferred.
Microsoft Dynamics NAV also provides a set of predefined reports supporting all business processes within your organization. This gives the user a consistent overview of the business.

In addition to the traditional reporting available within Microsoft Dynamics NAV, it is possible to integrate to Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services to support needs for interactive, Web-based reports.
