Creating Flawless MS Dynamics Reports with Windward

Here's how Windward can help you create amazing reports with MS Dynamics.

One of Microsoft’s most notable innovations is Microsoft Dynamics. It is a series of CRM and ERP applications that businesses (small and big), can use to better organize the processes within their organization.

While MS Dynamics allows better communication between a business and its customers through the CRM, there are still a few limitations to its capabilities.Unfortunately, there is no easy way to gather the summarization of the data present in the MS Dynamics system into a single report. MS Dynamics users have to spend a lot of time going back and forth their accounts just to come up with a report that is a single page long.

Worry No More — Windward Is Here to the Rescue

The good news is that there are third-party solutions to make life easier for you.Get to know Windward, the best way to save a lot of time when creating reports from your MS Dynamics system.

“How does it work?” You may ask....

First of all, MS Dynamics is a creation of Microsoft. This means that the whole system runs on SQL as their core database and it can be accessed via OData. It provides a clearer and more comprehensive way of presenting data even without a design template.

In just 13 lines of codes, you can let your MS Dynamics account have the added function of scraping all the vital data with the help of OData API in just a few clicks!
