Overview Does the IT department find itself "Jumping through hoops," consolidating data from incompatible systems to meet executives' financial reporting needs? Do outdated technologies create information bottlenecks when consolidating budgeting and financial data? Microsoft FRx (for reporting) and Microsoft Forecaster (for budgeting) make these tasks quick and easy. With Microsoft Integration Designer, one can design integrations between ERP systems and FRx, allowing users to work with current information. The attendee of this webcast will learn how these solutions can be implemented in less time than alternative solutions, enabling end users to get what they need, when they need it, while freeing up IT resources.
