Information needs vary across your organization, but one thing is certain: The right information presented in an understandable way empowers people to impact your success. You need a solution that helps you analyze financial and operational data by criteria you set—a solution that enables you to look deep into accounting transactions. You also need flexibility of report types and a company-wide view of your situation.

Microsoft Dynamics GP offers intuitive data analysis programs. These programs can meet stringent security requirements and give users the capabilities to produce and manage powerful, compelling data analyses and reports.

Take More control of Budgeting and Planning Processes
You need to drive budgeting and strategic planning. Microsoft Dynamics GP integrates with business productivity programs that you already know and use. So you can quickly access and analyze information from across your entire business.

• Drive budgeting and planning: Tight integration between Microsoft Dynamics GP and familiar Microsoft Office System programs can give you an advantage. For example, you can transform Microsoft Dynamics GP information into Microsoft Office Excel spreadsheets and PivotTable dynamic views with a click. Without leaving Microsoft Office programs, you can drill back instantly to customer, employee, vendor, and product information contained in Microsoft Dynamics GP. You can also create, display, and save data views from across your business using Smart List inquiries, and then easily export inquiries to Microsoft Office Word or Excel for use in mass mailings or for further analysis.
• Gain more control using new analytical accounting capabilities: For example, the capability to assign Dimension code while entering purchase orders as well as easy access to distribution details both help to empower users and improve productivity.

Gain More Operational Control
To run your company effectively, you need a total view of the business. But this is difficult to obtain. Microsoft Dynamics GP gives you easy access to (and rich analysis of) integrated, updated information. So you can better manage manufacturing, purchasing, inventory, and more.

• Improve manufacturing planning: Microsoft Dynamics GP offers Web-based access to user-specific information and reminders such as key performance indicators (KPIs), links to commonly used reports, and other information that is important to an employee's role—and to his or her success.
• Base purchasing decisions on accurate assessments: By giving employees a role-based home page that contains relevant information and easy access to reports and analytical tools, you can help employees focus on the most important tasks and information.
• Reduce inventory costs: Armed with the information you need to improve planning, you can reduce inventory and associated carrying costs.
