Businesses are into value for money — and that translates to all facets of business, including investments and productivity. Wasted resources are unacceptable, which is why it is important to make sure that your investments meet expectations — and more.

Businesses today demand metrics and data to measure success; for this reason, there is a huge demand for business solutions that can provide substantial information to drive company growth.

One such analytics service is Microsoft’s Power BI, a platform that delivers insights to enable fast, informed decisions.

Cloud application services are expected to reach $46.3 billion this year, according to Gartner. And a good portion of that market share will be taken by cloud-based enterprise resource planning (ERP) software.

Over the years, Microsoft has made big developments with their cloud services, such as Office 365 and Azure, and they did just that with their ERP product Dynamics GP. A huge part of Microsoft’s success is listening to partner feedback, which gives them ideas on how to improve their accounting software.
