Has anyone tinkered with both to see what works best? Who upgraded recently or is in the process of doing so? Please elaborate for the group. Microsoft Power BI – who has tried using it against their production data? Jet Express for Excel – Has anyone deployed this solution for their financials? Anyone running it and MR? Is anyone utilizing Workflow for payables? For procurement? Some other area?
