The primary fear your customers face when moving their Dynamics NAV solutions to Microsoft Azure is losing data or losing access to data in the cloud. "Is Microsoft Azure a safe and secure option for our business systems?" is probably the #1 Question developers are asked today by their management. We hosted webinar "Is Dynamics NAV on Microsoft Azure Secure?" where partners discussed the security of Microsoft Azure with Dynamics NAV Technical Evangelist from Microsoft, Freddy Kristiansen and Giedrius Kakanauskas, NAV Cloud Consultant at 1ClickFactory.

In the previous blog post, I shared how to speed up your Classic to RDLC reports transformation by using the FREE Express version of 1ClickFactory’s Classic to RDLC report transformation tool. In this post I will use the same example, show how you can easily create a word layout from RDLC, also how to get a report with both RDLC and Word layouts.

Rebuilding Classic reports in the RDLC is both a costly and time consuming task for Dynamics NAV Partners. To help Partners overcome this challenge, we at 1ClickFactory have created the Microsoft Dynamics NAV Classic report to RDLC transformation tool that speeds up transformation and enables Partners to meet project deadlines.

The public Cloud – Microsoft Azure – has arrived for Microsoft Dynamics NAV, and it will change the market. As the economic benefits of being in the public Cloud grow, it is clear that more customers feel more comfortable with the idea of having their ERP (and data) in the Cloud. We see customers focusing on speed to market, ease of use, and pay-as-you-go models since they cannot borrow money from the bank as easily as before. The big question is, what will you, as an executive at a Microsoft Partner, do about it?

Seeing the Dataset of a report can be very helpful, because it shows all values for every Data Item‘s column in one table. It‘s useful to export this table to Excel and, with the help of filters, see how particular values are calculated. 1ClickFactory developers found this less time-consuming than adding test messages to the code of test controls in Layout.
