LITTLETON, COLORADO – Centerline Software, Inc. today announced the launch of its newest product in the Pivotier Report Writing suite, Pivotier Express Plus. This product consists of 79 fully formed reports that will work with both Role-Tailored and Classic clients in the Microsoft Dynamics NAV enterprise resource planning software solution for small to mid-sized companies throughout the world.

“We were looking for a way to help people within organizations to pull their data into better organized and more visually appealing reports,” said Ron Summers, president of Centerline. “I think this new software will be a tremendous success, not only from a horizontal business perspective, but for ISVs who focus on vertical markets as well.” Mr. Summers explained that demand for clear and visually communicative reports is the way of the future, and ISV partners, after seeing Pivotier Express Plus, would be able to acquire other Pivotier tools that will help them create industry specific reports for their own products.

“Pivotier Express Plus should be the light bulb that comes on for all users of Microsoft Dynamics NAV,” said Jay Malik, CEO of Centerline. “This set of reports will empower users everywhere to meet the requirements of their businesses’ key performance requirements, by using Microsoft’s best and newest data visualizationtechniques to illustrate how a company or department is making progress towards all quantitative goals set by management.” Mr. Malik and Mr. Summers also indicated that the first release of Pivotier Express Plus would be available for internal use to all registered Pivotier partners for free in January 2012.

“We like to think of ourselves as the partner’s partner,” said Mr. Summers. “How can we reward partners for selling our products and investing extra time and money in learning the product? As Pivotier Express Plus integrates fully with the Microsoft Dynamics NAV solution, we hope all partners will download an internal use copy and acquire feedback from their employees.”

Pivotier Express Plus will retail for $1499 in North America, or £999 and €1199 overseas, plus the standard sixteen percent maintenance for the first year of updates. “This is a dynamic way to start the new year,” said Mr. Malik, “and we hope both the partner community and the end-user community will find that the reports within Pivotier Express Plus have enough whistles and bells to excite even the most fastidious reporting needs.

Centerline Software, Inc. is a software development company focused on creating add-on solutions for Microsoft Dynamics NAV. The company has been in operation since2007 and has developed six add-on solutions under the Pivotier brand.

Microsoft unveiled the roadmap for its cloud ERP applications before some 9,000 attendees at its Convergence 2011 conference in Atlanta Monday. But executives acknowledged that a lot of details remain to be worked out given the different development approaches the individual Dynamics AX, GP, NAV and SL products will require.

“For now we thought that it was appropriate for use to articulate the vision and the roadmap, the directional statement,” said Kirill Tatarinov, corporate vice president for Microsoft Business Solutions, in a press conference following his keynote speech.

Currently Microsoft provides a Software-as-a-Service version of itsCRM application, Dynamics CRM Online, along with the on-premise release. Dynamics CRM Online has been available in the U.S. for three years and just went global in February.

But until now Microsoft has offered only on-premise versions of its Dynamics ERP applications. Microsoft channel partners have had the right to host those applications themselves for their customers under a service provider license agreement (SPLA).

The next major releases of Dynamics AX, GP, NAV and SL will be developed to run on Windows Azure, Microsoft’s cloud development platform that’s been available for a year, Tatarinov said, beginning with the next version of Dynamics NAV that’s due in 2012. The applications will support multi-tenancy, he said.

“Make no mistake, when it comes to the cloud, Microsoft’s all in,” said CEO Steve Ballmer, using his keynote to highlight the range of cloud computing products Microsoft now offers or is developing, including Windows Azure, Dynamics CRM Online and Office 365.

“Every one of our products will be engineered to deliver the full benefits of the cloud. Every one of the whole Dynamics set, for example,” he said. “As I see it the cloud is probably the most important technological generation going forward for the next 10 years.”

At some point Microsoft will also adapt Dynamics CRM Online, which preceded Windows Azure, to run on that platform, according to Tatarinov.

Invite you to learn how to make reporting with Microsoft Dynamics NAV easier with

Pivotier™ – The RIGHT Report Writer
for Microsoft Dynamics NAV

Tuesday, July 12th, 2011
11:00am – 12:00pm PST

• Let’s face it, report writing can be difficult, cumbersome, time-consuming and frustrating, just for starters.
• The output lacks luster.  Enough said.
• Maybe your report writer requires programming knowledge or the technology it uses is not Microsoft standard.
• Why not enable the Microsoft stack of components already owned by your company?
• Think about this.  You could empower all of your Navision users with a reporting tool that has the familiar NAV interface and eliminates the dependency on experts.
• You could consider Pivotier, the Right Report Writer for Microsoft Dynamics NAV, from Centerline Software.

Pivotier enables Microsoft Dynamics NAV (Navision) users & consultants to create ad-hoc and financial reports without any programming expertise. Now any Dynamics NAV user that has upgraded to SQL can enjoy content rich reports without learning any new applications. Report output can be sent directly to Microsoft Excel, Word, Adobe PDF, and email or to the web through SSRS.

Pivotier uses the power of the latest Microsoft reporting technologies such as Report Definition Language (RDL), SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) and Visual Studio Report Designer to thoroughly modernize NAV reports. These modern Microsoft tools are completely integrated into the Classic and/or Role-tailored user experience and Pivotier ensures that NAV’s data nuances such as flowfields, language captions, option fields and boolean fields are translated for use by SQL Server.

To learn more about Pivotier, please attend our live, highly informative presentation.

“Pivotier is one of the easiest report-building tools I have ever used!  This is the NAV add-in product we have been waiting for.”
