Cloud BI software comes in different shapes and sizes for Microsoft Dynamics. This article will discuss the options for deployment and compare the BI solutions on the market today.
While Cloud computing and Software as a Service (SaaS) platforms are growing in terms of popularity in the business sector, for some, it remains foggy at best. I get this confusion. It is a fast-moving evolution that makes a lot of sense, but if you are used to hosting your software on premises, as most of us have always done, the shift makes a lot of sense in theory, but not always so much in practice. Questions of cost, security, access, management can start to pile up, and the frustration of confusion is exacerbated by the fact that some of us are inevitably going in the direction of the cloud, for parts of our IT solutions or the whole kit and caboodle. However, there are some really impactful Business Intelligence (BI) options for Microsoft Dynamics users, and it never hurts to know your options. This article will break down the facets of Cloud computing and explore a few Cloud BI options for Microsoft Dynamics.
