a game changer for business use of tablets and phones - to a tile-based interface and enhancements to Explorer and the Task Manager. And,
what’s new in Office 2013, from Cloud offerings and a cleaner ribbon and look plus a huge library of templates to fulfill many business needs.

Business Analyzer and Dashboards for Dynamics GP
So how helpful would it be if your executives were able to access
financial information in GP without logging in? If you see the
benefit of them having access to reports without using a GP log in,
you’ll want to start taking advantage of the Business Analyzer
offered in GP 2010. Take your pick among standard reports
included, or develop your own and deploy in Dashboards that
showcase the information users need based on their roles. We’ll
show some sorting and filtering capabilities, drill downs and how
you can personalize to your specific needs and role. Also works
with your other SQL products so you can see your whole business.

Excel®
Deep Dive Tell an accountant to stop using Excel?
Easier to say: Stop breathing and eating. So if Excel is the tool
of choice, let's hone your Excel skills to make the most of data
reporting and analysis. This session will review valuable features
such as linking separate workbooks and worksheets, Pivot Tables
and linking with other applications. We’ll also offer up some
tips for Dynamics GP users who spend a lot of time working
with Excel, so you’ll know how to tap further into the power
of newer GP reporting tools built with Excel functionality.
BONUS: All attendees at this session will receive free:
“101 Microsoft Excel® Tips & Tricks.”

Financial Reporting for Dynamics GP The tool of choice for
financial reports out of GP is Management Reporter 2012 and we’ll be
focusing how to tap into its power to generate, secure and publish profit
and loss statements, balance sheets, and cash flow reports. This FRx
replacement takes everything you know and love about FRx, and adds
more power through updated architecture that offers a new scalability
and reliability. This session will show you what you can expect from
MR 2012, a look at the many drill downs and multiple options for
automatically distributing both static and dynamic reports. View in
Excel, viewer or XPS.
