• Artificial Intelligence (AI): Are you seeing areas where your financial data can benefit from artificial intelligence?  Send us your ideas/questions that you’d like to discuss.
• Business Intelligence:  From powerbi.com to bi360.com, we have caught the BI bug!
• Expense Reporting:  Are you looking to streamline/enhance your expense reporting?  There are many exciting integration options for a variety of investment levels.
• Excel Integration:  Virtually every product we support now has some kind of linked integration with Excel.  If you are still exporting/re-keying data into Excel, check in with us about other techniques!
• SQL Reporting Services:  Is your accounting data stored in a Microsoft SQL Server database (all Microsoft Dynamics products are!)?  If so, SQL Reporting Services is included if you are running currently supported versions of Microsoft SQL Server.  We can help with your SQL Reporting configuration!
• Paperless Office:  We’ve been hearing about it for decades, but with the increased storage and processing capacities of today’s computers and databases, scanning and storing documents continue to improve, including the most requested feature:  Payables Automation.
• Financial Statements/Forecasting/Budgeting:  With FRx retired and Management Reporter maturing, we have been actively researching different financial reporting tools.  Many reporting tools are now based inside Excel and/or web-enabled.
• Web-Based Accounting/ERP Solutions:  We are big fans of ancillary tasks (expense reporting, electronic bill pay, credit card encryption, etc.) being stored in the “The Cloud” but are cautious when it comes to storing mission-critical, confidential, and/or proprietary systems outside your organization’s physical control.  We do have strategic relationships in place for subscription and/or hosting various products, including Dynamics GP, Microsoft Azure, and the entire Dynamics 365 family (including Dynamics BC).
