Dynamics GP Business Analyzer on a Windows Touch Tablet

A little while back a GP Admin mailed me saying that their top management were being gifted iPads, so they could stay on top of the latest reports and data from Microsoft Dynamics GP, easily.

I suggested various options, the simplest being – automated emailing of the reports, which could then be reviewed on the iPads.

However, the lack of interactivity was a problem. The management wanted to drill down on the data – and connect with specific department heads about specific reports on a monthly basis.

The next solution was using VNC to connect to their main computers, from where they could access the data. Display resolutions problems, and the performance – meant this was not a viable solution either.

At this point I said – “Do you want a solution that will require minimal setup, training, would work out of the box and will save you guys money ?”

The answer was an emphatic – “YES!”

I suggested using Business Analyzer on a Windows Touch Tablet. Having personally tested this out – I know this works like a charm.

• You can navigate between charts and reports via touch
• You can drill down on reports
• You can easily assign specific contacts for reports, and call them, or share the screen with them while reviewing a particular report.

I’ve made a couple of videos using Business Analyzer on a Windows Touch Tablet (Acer Iconia W500). The first video shows how easy, and convenient it is to use Business Analyzer on a Windows Tablet.
