What is a Microsoft Dynamics GP Light User? A Light User provides the capability of accessing Dynamics GP business-critical information without a full user license. These licenses are a fraction of the cost and you probably own at least a few already. Priced at $195 per user, it’s a cost effective way to give your employees the business-critical information in Microsoft Dynamics GP that they need through Microsoft Office software they already use – Excel, Outlook, and Word – and beyond.
Let’s dig a little deeper into what a Microsoft Dynamics GP Light User allows you to have access to.
How does a real-time, refreshable Excel Spreadsheet sound? With a pivot table or chart? And each time you click the refresh button on this spreadsheet, the numbers will update based on the actual information from within your Microsoft Dynamics GP databases? What about allowing your employees to update their own information in payroll and human resources, view their latest paycheck, time off, etc via a web browser? Getting data out of GP in a way that makes sense to you and your company had never been easier or more cost-effective.
What information can I get out of the system? The question is “where would you like to get the information out of the system”? Some professionals are great with Excel and pivot tables, some prefer to have a report run out of SSRS (SQL Server Reporting Service), some like to see important data within Outlook or Word, and some want to see the information via a web browser. There are a variety of viewing sources – similar to an a la carte menu! Pick your favorite! Here is a listing of where your Microsoft Dynamics GP Light User license works (yes, one license will cover all access points):
- Business Portal Employee and Customer User capabilities
- Analysis Cubes
- Analysis Cubes Library
- Management Reporter Viewer (formerly FRx Drill-down Viewer)
- BI Components
- Executive Centers & New Dynamics GP 2010 Dashboards
- Out of the box Excel Reports
- Excel Report Builder Reports
- SSRS Reports (out of the box or newly created)
- KPIs
- Order Management
- PO Requisition Management
- Project Time and Expense
- Human Resources Management Self Service Suite
- Workflow Approval and Actions
With so many options to choose from, you will be able to share business-critical information, to collaborate and to communicate with your colleagues, and to have your financial and management information that resides in your Microsoft Dynamics GP back-end system, directly at your finger tips. At such a fantastic price, can a company really afford NOT to have these Light User licenses that provide such valuable information , so readily available? Imagine allowing your finance team, who are all full GP users, the ability to get their jobs done without so many interruptions from others in the company needing critical information? Imagine the efficiency and proficiency that will be achieved throughout the entire company. Can you really afford NOT to get started today with a Microsoft GP Light User license?
