Enhance SSRS Reports in Terms of Design and Printing

Costly development, painful updating, design and printing limitations, performance and deployment issues, no true WYSIWYG designer – these are some of common SSRS shortfalls addressed by Docentric AX.

Design reports in MS Word
You can transform your existing SSRS reports into professional looking invoices, orders, quotes, statements, letters, etc. using Microsoft Word and Docentric Designer.

Change report designs without coding
No coding is required to modify existing report designs, and even end users can do it! Updated designs can be stored on SharePoint or Azure storage and used in D365FO straightaway.

Modify report data sources with ease
If you want to add some additional data to a report, you will still need a developer. But the good news is that this can be done with a minimum effort, without changing the report’s temporary tables or queries.

Improve print destinations
Improve the way you email, print, distribute and archive your reports.
