Product Overview: Microsoft Dynamics Business Portal

If your top salespeople, warehouse managers, or systems administrator left today, how vulnerable would that leave you? Could you easily access information about key customers, fast- or slow-moving inventory, or map your hardware and software applications? If you answered "no" or are unsure, consider how portals can help you keep information flowing throughout your organization to employees, partners, or customers. Equally important, portals will help you gain strategic insights into the current health of your organization.

Inside your business management system there is an inventory full of data that are indicators to how well your company is performing. The question is how do you get the right information to the right people at the right time to make the right decisions?

A business portal can serve precise, up-to-date information to those who need it. Also, business portals can provide quick role-based access to vital business metrics via a Web browser allowing managers and others to constantly monitor specific information. Personalized views of key performance indicators (KPIs) help decision-makers stay aware of ongoing conditions that will assist them in making an informed decision in a timely manner. 

Microsoft Dynamics Business Portal, for example, can be set up to provide easy-to-read views of business measurements like profitability, debt-to-equity, gross margin, and much more. Information displayed for each person can be predetermined depending on the person's role. Data is drawn directly from Microsoft Dynamics applications and other applications, offering a real-time view of your company's performance.

Here are three of the many benefits of using Microsoft Dynamics Business Portal KPI features:

• Help Executives Lead More Effectively
  CEOs, CFOs, Sales VPs, and other executives have certain metrics that can tell them how their piece of the business is performing. Microsoft Dynamics Business Portal can serve them personalized data to help them keep an eye on current conditions.
• Provide Each Key Employee with Role-Based Access to Data
  Multiple views can be created and assigned to those who act on crucial business details daily. Graphs, tables, and "green/yellow/red" conditional alerts can draw attention to important items so individuals can act on them quickly. Users can drill down into the underlying data for further analysis.
• Help Ensure Decision-Driving Data Is Up to Date
  Views can be scheduled to be updated as often as you want, so employees will always be working with the latest and best-available information. Once a view has been created, it can be used as the basis for additional views, saving design time.
