Summit EMEA 2017: Practical Power BI for analysis and reporting in Dynamics NAV

Swedish consultancy Ekonomi KlaraPapper trades in business intelligence, accounting, and payroll. It uses Microsoft Power BI in its own business and to help clients measure accounting and payroll performance, and the company will share its best practices at NAVUG Summit EMEA 2017.

Magnus Ramfelt is a partner with Ekonomi KlaraPapper, and the founder of the two-year-old Dynamics NAV user group in Sweden. He also manages both KlaraPapper's own NAV and Power BI installations.

KlaraPapper offers accounting and payroll services to both local and international clients. It prides itself on streamlining clients' processes and providing customized reporting to suit client needs, from the assistant to the CFO level.

Ramfelt will present "Using Power BI for Analysis and Reporting" at Summit, which is an intermediate-level, "How2" session. He told us more about the session and his work with NAVUG.
