Excel Assisted reporting strategy for Baan customers
Quote:
Here is a blog on a reporting strategy for baan complemented with Excel load clients. This blog discusses various approaches to reporting in Excel and ingredients of successful Excel assisted baan reporting.
WHO SHOULD READ THIS
One should read this blog if: - one is very much comfortable with existing authorizations and semantic layer in Baan (Read baan data dictionary ) technically ( table/domain /field codes ) and functionally (descriptions ) and
- one wishes to capitalize on existing learning and knowledge of existing semantic layer in Baan (technically as well as functionally ) and do not wish to invest (or waste??) in learning / migrating /adopting / translating / maintaining new semantic layer for reporting
- one is very much adept at using Baan reporting and programming for routine documents and
- one’s users enjoy the freedom, flexibility and functionality of spreadsheets (which may be freeware also) for analytical purposes.
- there are sufficient Office licenses already with company on PCs with high CPU and memory ( far exceeding basic Excel requirements and which have become norm rather than exceptions ) in one’s place and there is high need to optimally utilize these resources and to reduce the load on servers .
WHO SHOULD NOT READ THIS
One whose objectives are different OR who don’t have any objectives only OR who is extremely satisfied with their current reporting already.
