User Portal
Access Microsoft Business Solutions-Navision - Anytime, Anywhere
Your employees are one of your greatest assets - their productivity (or lack of it) can make or break you. You want them to be more efficient, and you need them to make the right business decisions. The last thing you want is a complicated software system that slows your employees down and grinds your business to a halt.
User Portal helps employees focus on their jobs
There's No Place Like Home
User Portal for Microsoft Business Solutions-Navision delivers all the critical information employees need on their own homepage, helping them become more productive. All that's required to access the specific data they need is a Microsoft browser. With User Portal it's easy for your employees to access data in Navision, no matter where they're working. Remote users, such as traveling sales representatives, can immediately access their customized home page with the information they require to complete their task.
One Desktop - Many Users
With User Portal, you can also provide both casual and regular users of Navision with a personal portal suited to their role in your organization. For example, you may have casual users that do not require their own computer, but occasionally need to check for example order status, customer information, and so on in Navision. With User Portal, one computer serves all. The user can simply log on to any office computer to access their personal home page - one uniquely designed to meet their individual need for information. Once the user has logged off, the desktop is ready for the next employee.
Zero Training Time - Zero Training Costs
User Portal requires no training. If your employees have worked with a Microsoft program or surfed the Internet, they have all the experience they need.
Like all Navision solutions, User Portal has been developed with the user in mind so that it's both intuitive and simple to use. Not only do you save on training costs, your employees can start working immediately. And, there are no extra software costs! User Portal software is complimentary with any Navision solution.
Time Is Money
User Portal saves your employees time by giving them instant access to the information they need to do their job, making them more efficient.
With User Portal, your employees have a desktop work environment with multiple views into their Navision solution, Microsoft Outlook and the Internet, for example. It's all on one screen, meaning that employees always work in the same interface and never have to switch programs. All the critical role-based information they need is on one page so they work more efficiently.
Customization is as easy as drag and drop.
Tailor-Made for Each Employee
Your staff can design and format their own screen content and layout. They can select from assigned Web Parts (or views), such as, ticker stock prices, recent business news and Navision. And it's quick and easy to add to or subtract from the contents of your page to match changing needs. Using, receiving and combining information helps employees manage personal business knowledge effortlessly.
Access with Just One Click
Why waste time searching for the information you need when you can add it to your start page? With the click of the mouse, you can, for example, easily enter orders and look up stock availability.
Give each employee access to e.g. customer information at a click of a button
Knowledge Is Strength
How can you help your employees make better business decisions? You can keep them well informed with the right information they need to do their job effectively. With User Portal, your employees have easy access to all the information that supports the roles they have in your organization. They can quickly and easily initiate searches for relevant role-based information from any source. For example, when a sales representative needs information on customer accounts and sales history he or she can easily access the relevant and up-to-date information in Sales and Receivables from their User Portal.
The result: Employees have more time to analyze data and are equipped with the right information to solve problems, answer questions and make smarter decisions faster.
Your Staff Excels - Your Business Wins

This helps you ensure that employees remain focused on data relevant to their role and can make better business decisions as a result. Your employees have:
" Single-click access to analytical tools
" Access to real-time integrated data
" The tools they need to deal with sales and service
