Customers benefit from rapid ROI, even for heavily customized deployments
Brisbane, Australia – (May 12, 2009) –Zap today announced that its latest release of Business Analytics for Microsoft Dynamics NAV is now available. This landmark release introduces significant new functionality designed to enable a rapid deployment and return on investment (ROI), even for customers who have heavily customized Microsoft Dynamics® NAV.
Zap’s Business Analytics for Microsoft Dynamics NAV enables business users to measure, report on and improve performance using scorecards, key performance indicators (KPIs), dashboards, ad-hoc analysis, and management reports.
“Particularly in today’s economic downturn, organizations are under more pressure than ever before to tightly manage performance and make informed decisions using analytics,” said Garth D. Laird, President of Zap. “We have listened to the market to deliver a packaged analytics solution that’s user friendly for NAV customers, while enabling NAV partners to fast-track delivery, ensure a rapid return on investment, and generate repeatable, profitable business.”
Business Analytics addresses key pain points of the current economic downturn - identifying and reducing hidden costs, increasing sales, optimizing cash flow, improving inventory management, and meeting the need for more frequent reporting and visibility into performance.
Building on previous releases and customer feedback, this release of Business Analytics includes the patent-pending Customization Wizard, which enables customers to take a “buy, not build” approach to analytics. The Customization Wizard brings NAV customizations, including entire vertical solutions, through instantly so they are immediately available for analysis. It is also used to keep analytics up-to-date with ongoing NAV customizations and modifications, ensuring the solution will grow with the customer.
Business Analytics is sold through leading Microsoft Dynamics NAV partners. “Zap has created a reporting and analytics solution that is designed for the NAV partner channel,” said Tommy Madsen, partner and co-founder of ArcherPoint, a leading provider of Microsoft Dynamics NAV in the United States, and the first company in the world to complete a customer implementation of Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2009. “It is easy for NAV clients to use and understand and it incorporates all the NAV customer and vertical customizations into an easily managed environment, creating a truly integrated information solution.”
The 2008 Global Microsoft Partner of the Year for Microsoft Dynamics NAV, Eclipse Computing (Australia) stated that Zap’s solution meets customer needs. “In the current marketplace, software implementations that are lengthy, complex and take a long time to achieve ROI just won’t get the green light,” said Martin Wildsmith, Eclipse’s Business Development Director. “Customers want a fast return on their investment and to gain tangible business benefits from analytics quickly. They want to reduce risk in their IT projects and not have any surprises. Zap’s solutions deliver on this.”
