Today we’re finally going to finish our overview of the new features you’ll be enjoying in Microsoft Dynamics GP 2016.
Power BI is a powerful reporting tool, and now you will be able to view reports on the home page of the desktop client for Microsoft Dynamics GP. A new portion of the home page is dedicated to displaying Power BI reports, and you can click on a report to go to your Power BI site. Power BI is brought to Microsoft Dynamics GP with the OData service, which is also new to this release of Microsoft Dynamics GP. OData has a separate installation under Additional Products, and you use GP security to control access to data.
And that wraps it up. Microsoft Dynamics GP 2016 is now available, and as you can see, it includes a lot of enhancements. We’ll be looking at some of these new features in even more detail over the coming weeks.
