Business Intelligence
Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations (F&O) is a comprehensive enterprise resource planning (ERP) solution that can help organizations manage their financials, operations, supply chain, and other core business processes. Power Platform, on the other hand, is a low-code platform that allows users to create custom applications, workflows, and reports.
By integrating Dynamics 365 F&O and Power Platform, organizations can create a powerful business intelligence (BI) solution that can provide valuable insights into their data.
BI Capabilities
Dynamics 365 has built-in BI capabilities that can be used to generate reports and visualizations. These capabilities are based on Microsoft Power BI, which is a powerful and flexible data analysis and visualization tool. Power BI integrates seamlessly with Dynamics 365, allowing businesses to access their data and create reports and visualizations quickly.
To get started with BI in Dynamics 365, you should first identify the data sources that you want to use. Dynamics 365 provides a wide range of data sources, including customer data, sales data, financial data, and inventory data. You can also integrate external data sources into Dynamics 365, such as data from social media platforms, website analytics, and marketing campaigns.
Once you have identified your data sources, you can use the Power BI tools in Dynamics 365 to create reports and visualizations. Power BI provides a wide range of visualization options, including charts, graphs, and maps. You can also use Power BI to create dashboards that provide an overview of key performance indicators (KPIs) for your business.
In addition to the built-in BI capabilities in Dynamics 365, you can also extend the platform using customizations and integrations. For example, you can create custom reports and visualizations using Power BI Desktop and then integrate them into Dynamics 365. You can also use third-party BI tools and services to extend the BI capabilities of Dynamics 365.
