AX 2012 - Diving into BI Analytics: Brandon George knows that sometimes people get so caught up in the implementation of Microsoft Dynamics AX and getting the transaction side of a project up and running, that they fail to realize the full value of the solution.

In his blog, George says:

To often, the value of out-of-the-box offerings around Business Intelligence (BI), is a part of that overlooked area of AX. This is sometimes, a major part of why, during the sales cycle a company made the choice of going with AX over some other brand of ERP software. At least to a large degree, it is usually a major deciding factor. Why shouldn't it be, with all the wonderful BI concepts built into AX as a product, not just in the formed of typical reports either, but even with contextual BI elements and beyond?

George then goes on to highlight some of the BI capabilities of Dynamics AX 2012 designed specifically for developers, so they can use analytics to "enable, customize and complete" a customer's BI story.

He then points to the Development Tasks for Analytics feature in Dynamics AX 2012, where you can see several walkthroughs from Creating Cubes within the AOT, to Creating and Displaying new KPIs.

George plans to focus on BI analytics in Dynamics AX 2012 in future posts, so stayed tuned.
