SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS)

Transform valuable enterprise data into shared information

 

The SQL Server Reporting Services is a comprehensive, server-based solution that enables the creation, management, and delivery of both traditional, paper-oriented reports and interactive, Web-based reports. SSRS is an integrated part of the Microsoft Business Intelligence framework. SQL Server Reporting Services combines the data management capabilities of SQL Server and Microsoft Windows Server with familiar and powerful Microsoft Office System applications to deliver real-time information to support daily operations and drive decisions.  SSRS enables:

 

·    Advanced Report Authoring

Leverage powerful design tools to author reports that can accommodate any reporting need. Empower every business user with interactive, personalized, and relevant reports.

 

·    Scalable, Enterprise-Wide Delivery

Enable on-demand report delivery, deploy event-based report distribution, and directly embed reports in business applications. Automate effective delivery of real-time information that helps drive better business decisions for users across the entire enterprise.

 

·    Report security

SSRS implements a flexible, role-based security model to protect reports and reporting resources. The product includes extensible interfaces for integrating other security models as well.

 

·    Key Reporting Scenarios

SSRS combines a single, complete reporting platform with a scalable and extensible architecture to meet a wide variety of reporting needs, including:

 

o   Ad-hoc reporting - SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services includes Report Builder, a new ad-hoc reporting tool that enables business users to create their own reports and explore company data. Report Builder incorporates a user-friendly business query model that enables users to build reports without deep technical understanding of the underlying data sources.

 

o   Web-based reporting for partners and customers - Organizations can deploy interactive Web-based reports to deliver information to customers or vendors over extranets or the Internet. Reporting Services isolates report consumers from the complexity of the underlying data sources, while providing personalization and interactivity.

SmartConnect

Integrating data from any source into Microsoft Dynamics GP without a single line of code.

 

SmartConnect, by eOne, is an excellent resource in conjunction with Microsoft Dynamics GP (Great Plains). There are many benefits to SmartConnect that will make completing routine tasks much easier, quicker and cost effective.

The ability to create integrations with SmartConnect's unique drag and drop feature allows you to simply pull the data directly from the source to the destination.

SmartConnect helps to improve organizational efficiency by quickly managing records in Microsoft Dynamics GP (Great Plains). Imagine the ability to generate hundreds of thousands of records in minutes!

Save time with routine data entry tasks such as commission calculations and intercompany sales by performing bulk transaction processing without interrupting users.  Also have the ability to eliminate double entry and costly rekeying errors by allowing remote users to enter data in Microsoft Dynamics GP (Great Plains).

Additionally, you will save money with SmartConnect because with the flexibility of using Microsoft Office Excel and InfoPath, there is no longer a need to be logged into Microsoft Dynamics GP (Great Plains) to update records and enter data.

SmartConnect Features:

  • Create Transactions from SmartList. Use SmartList queries as a data source for SmartConnect. Combined with SmartList Builder, you can create or update records from any data in Microsoft Dynamics GP.
  • Import Records. Import from Excel spreadsheets, legacy databases, POS systems, CRM applications and any database or file that can be accessed via ODBC.
  • Scheduling. Create schedules to automatically run.
  • Intercompany. Create transactions in more than one company at a time.
  • Rolling columns. Use auto-incrementing values. Values can be a custom sequence or one of the standard sequences from Receivables Management, Payables Management, Sales Order, Processing, Purchase Order Processing or Inventory Management.

  • Security
  • XML Import/Export. Export and import setup details via XML to share mappings between companies.
 

 

Smartlists

A sophisticated query tool to find critical information.

 
Our first featured product is SmartLists and is included in the base Microsoft Dynamics GP (Great Plains) product. Once you start using this tool, you will keep finding new ways to use it!

The best way to explain SmartLists is to describe it as a data query tool perfect for accountants. Accountants like to see their financial data in row and column order (like Excel) and are always looking for “exceptions” to analyze and correct. We are looking for the transactions or records that “don’t fit the rules”. And we like to export the results to Excel for further sorting and graphing.

You can use SmartLists to create customized inquiries to provide easier, faster access to information stored in the Microsoft Dynamics GP (Great Plains) system.

Instantly create sophisticated queries to find detailed customer, vendor, general ledger, inventory, employee, and salesperson information. Share saved queries with others in the organization. Quickly update spreadsheets or create mailing lists for sales and marketing initiatives with a single click to export query results into Microsoft Excel and Microsoft Word.
