BI & ANALYTICS PRESENTATION
Data Consolidation Layer: Analytical reporting data-base
Exceed Analytics utilises Azure SQL DB to deliver an Analytical reporting database that provides a single, secure and highly scalable reporting database.Key benefits realised by the Analytical reporting database: � Consolidate multiple Dynamics NAV
instances and different Dynamics NAV versions using a pre-built data-smart structure for Dynamics NAV.
� Integrate data from any data-source including your legacy ERP data and deliver a single view of data.
� Allow different groups of users direct access to specific Dynamics NAV data using integrated Dynamics NAV security.
� Highly scalable with no impact on end user query times. Unlike many existing BI solutions for Dynamics NAV, Exceed Analytics utilises the latest ‘in-memory’ database technology from Microsoft which provides a near real-time reporting and analysis environment on massive amounts of data with sub-second user response times.
BI Presentation Layer: PowerBI.com
Exceed Analytics leverages PowerBI.com as the BI presentation layer for our solution. This offers a modern, self-service business analytic tool that makes it easy to analyse data, share insights and monitor your business with a rich set of pre-built reports and dashboards for Dynamics NAV - all available across any device.Exceed Analytics offers over 250 pieces of BI content for Dynamics NAV.These dashboards, reports and KPI’s are delivered in Industry specific PowerBI Content Packs that are immediately available for your business to start using straight away.

The pre-built Dynamics NAV data entities are specifically designed to export your Dynamics NAV data rapidly and load automatically into the Analytical reporting database.Key benefits realised by the data entity export framework: � Minimise disruptions when
upgrading to new versions of Dynamics NAV. The entity framework provides an important layer of abstraction from the underlying database structure and provides protection from any changes that may occur when upgrading your Dynamics NAV version.
