This book is designed for any GP user who loves working with Excel. You just need to be comfortable in Excel to complete the nontechnical steps. If you are not experienced in SQL Server, no worries! We have clearly mentioned when you need to obtain assistance and when you can take off on your own. We will be using the following applications, so please make sure you have them all on your system before you begin:
Microsoft Dynamics GP 2013 with the Fabrikam sample company deployed
Office 365 subscription (many of the examples described in this book can be completed with Excel 2013 Professional Plus)
Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 or 2012
Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) deployed, with the free SQL Report Builder 3.0 installed
