7 reasons why your business intelligence team needs 9A Smart Insights

BI tools often require an intensive learning curve. It takes time to master how to extract data, set up reports, create visualizations, etc. Not only is that daunting for the people who have to work with it, but it also costs your organization a lot of money. 9A Smart Insights, on the other hand, is a quick-start solution that works with pre-filled content packages that allow teams to set up dashboards faster. In no time, you have the numbers you need and can make the necessary, data-driven decisions.

9A Smart Insights is integrated with Microsoft Dynamics 365 by default. That means you have all the data managed by Dynamics 365 applications right at your fingertips. This gives you an immediate starting point for comprehensive reporting and reduces the risk of errors. Of course, the Microsoft Dynamics 365 applications are not the only sources that feed the system. You could think of 9A Smart Insights as a power strip, where Microsoft Dynamics 365 only occupies one outlet.

A clear overview of different data sources that allows you to make informed decisions. That's clearly the power of Power BI and 9A Smart Insights. But equally, the platform allows you to zoom in on the details from your overall numbers. You don't have to plow through endless screens to find what you're looking for. 9A Smart Insights makes zooming in very efficient and less time-consuming, exactly what the productive and time-conscious employee will be able to appreciate.

Customize your own report, create a new field or optimize the user experience? Thanks to drag-and-drop functionality and underlying data links in the semantic middle layer, it's all easy.

9A Smart Insights is built on reliable Microsoft technology and follows the principles of Power BI. In that familiar environment, your users will be up to speed quickly and you will also be assured of a well-functioning system in the future.
