I had the privilege to be the technical reviewer of this book. Having 13+ years of Dynamics GP and almost 5+ years of BI experience myself, it is not difficult for me to recommend this book for all those who use Microsoft Dynamics GP as your ERP. The authors, Belinda Allen & Mark Polino, each having more than 20+ years of relevant experience, are generous enough to share their knowledge with all of us.I've always said this to all my customers: if you cannot visualise your ERP data in the way you wanted, either you are not using your ERP to its fullest potential or your ERP is incapable. This book just shows you how good Dynamics GP is as an ERP and the many options you have to visualise your business data. This book helps you to create a simple tabular report to an advanced dashboard, using your GP data without sweating much. You don't need technical expertise to achieve this, as the concepts are neatly explained and simple to follow.I strongly recommend this book to all Dynamics GP users and consultants alike.
