Whether you are an AX2009 customer looking to move to D365, or a AX2012 customer trying to understand the best way to achieve agile reporting and analytics, this session is for you.  We will do a deep dive on all the factors that will be important as you build out your own strategy to serve operational data & analytics to your business constituents. .
