Near real-time BI = AGILITY
Pre-built dashboards and KPIs = SIMPLICITY
Speed and Value Equals Success 25 Dashboards and 100 Best Practice KPIs Innovative, Next Gen Architecture
Exceed Analytics takes the complexity out of Dynamics 365 reporting. It empowers your users to rapidly build any report or dashboard they need to improve decision making across your business.
Designed to break through the BI barriers, Exceed Analytics eliminates complex set-ups, long learning curves and high upfront investments. We translate complexity (5000 Dynamics 365 Tables) into simplicity (25 Dashboards) to deliver immediate outcomes with over 100 Best Practice KPI’s.
Most traditional BI approaches typically support overnight or at best twice daily updates. But today, you need up-to-date information at your finger tips so you can monitor what is happening inside your business – be it your retail stores, manufacturing plant, warehouse or call centre.
Offering low latency (less than 5 minutes) Exceed Analytics is a BI system that is totally different with near real-time information offering true agility for your business.
Advanced analytics = INTELLIGENT ACTION
All your data = ANY SIZE, ANY TYPE
Built on 100 percent Microsoft technology, including Power BI, Azure SQL and the Cortana Intelligence suite, Exceed Analytics provides your business with a future proof architecture.
Business ready and fully aligned with your existing Microsoft business strategy, Exceed Analytics is the right balance between corporate data governance and self-service BI.
100% Microsoft Technology Architecture supporting customers from 5GB to 500TB

Delivers today, built for tomorrow = FUTURE PROOF
Handle data of any size and any type with Exceed Analytics, without the limitations that other third-party Dynamics 365 BI tools face. Rapid access is available to all your data (including business data and non-relational data) in near real-time without the need to build complex data cubes which are notoriously hard to manage and difficult for users to access.
Automate and predict your business processes with machine intelligence to evolve from simple descriptive analytics to prescriptive recommendations with Exceed Analytics. Covering Retail, Supply Chain and Manufacturing scenarios, the Exceed Advanced Analytic models deliver measurable bottom line results and drive real business innovation.
Rapid deployment = SUCCESS

Start in front with Exceed Analytics. Instead of investing more than $500,000 in development costs over a 9 to 12 month period, Exceed Analytics can be delivered in less than 4 weeks** with a range of pre-built Dashboards and KPIs.

There are 4 solution layers within Exceed Analytics:
Exceed Analytics is a modern, next generation solution for Microsoft Dynamics 365 and all of your business data. Built on the Microsoft Cortana Intelligence suite, which includes Power BI, Azure SQL or SQL Server DB, Azure Data Lake and Azure Machine Learning.
Exceed Analytics tightly integrates all of these components into a single BI & Analytics solution, so you don’t need to worry about the technology platform, you can focus on the outcomes.
Data Consolidation Layer: Analytical reporting database
Exceed Analytics utilises Azure SQL DB to deliver an Analytical reporting database that provides a single, secure and highly scalable reporting database.Key benefits realised by the Analytical reporting database: � Consolidate multiple Dynamics 365
instances and different Dynamics 365 versions using a pre-built data-smart structure for Dynamics 365.
� Integrate data from any data-source including your legacy ERP data and deliver a single view of data.
� Allow different groups of users direct access to specific Dynamics 365 data using integrated Dynamics 365 security.
� Highly scalable with no impact on end user query times. Unlike many existing BI solutions for Dynamics 365, Exceed Analytics utilises the latest ‘in-memory’ database technology from Microsoft which provides a near real-time reporting and analysis environment on massive amounts of data with sub-second user response times.
BI Presentation Layer: PowerBI.com
Exceed Analytics leverages PowerBI.com as the BI presentation layer for our solution. This offers a modern, self-service business analytic tool that makes it easy to analyse data, share insights and monitor your business with a rich set of pre-built reports and dashboards for Dynamics 365 - all available across any device.Exceed Analytics offers over 250 pieces of BI content for Dynamics 365.These dashboards, reports and KPI’s are delivered in Industry specific PowerBI Content Packs that are immediately available for your business to start using straight away. If you have specific business requirements, the Content Packs can also be used as a platform for your users to modify and customise.
Data Extract Layer: Dynamics 365 data entities
Exceed Analytics data extraction layer utilises the latest Dynamics 365 DIXF features. The pre-built Dynamics 365 data entities are specifically designed to export your Dynamics 365 data rapidly and load automatically into the Analytical reporting database.Key benefits realised by the data entity export framework: � Minimise disruptions when upgrading
to new versions of Dynamics 365. The entity framework provides an important layer of abstraction from the underlying database structure and provides protection from any changes that may occur when upgrading your Dynamics 365 version.
� Manage all Dynamics 365 companies and financial dimensions within the data entity framework.
� Provide near real-time updates for business users by continuously loading the analytical reporting database with data exports scheduled to run every 5 minutes.

Exceed Analytics’ pre-built PowerBI model for Dynamics 365 provides the business logic layer.This industry-focused business logic layer is the ‘brains’ of the solution and holds all of the pre-built intelligence that has been captured and developed for your immediate use.The PowerBI models include:
Solution Layers
