Often companies have a tough time to get these right insights after a Microsoft Dynamics NAV  or Business Central ERP implementation.

There is even a burden to get your core figures right! As a consequence, people lose confidence in spreadsheet based reporting, hesitate to act on data and are disappointed with the investment made in the ERP system. Finally, your company risks ending-up in what we could call a ‘disconnected report culture’ of manually produced Excel spreadsheets. 

Is your company also struggling in making such informed decisions based on your data, despite investments made in Microsoft Dynamics NAV or Business Central ?
