Boost Business Insights for Dynamics 365 with Microsoft Fabric
02 Feb, 2026
If you’re running your business on Dynamics 365, you already have a strong operational foundation. Finance, supply chain, sales, and service data are captured every day inside your ERP and CRM systems.
But for many Dynamics customers, reporting still lives outside the platform—spread across spreadsheets, custom exports, legacy data warehouses, or disconnected BI tools. The result? Data that’s technically available, but difficult to trust, reconcile, or act on quickly.
Microsoft Fabric is designed to close that gap.
The Hidden Reporting Challenge for Dynamics Customers
Dynamics 365 does a great job of running transactions. Where many organizations struggle is everything that comes after the transaction.
Common challenges we see with Dynamics customers include:
- Heavy reliance on manual exports to Excel for reporting
- Duplicate or conflicting financial reports across teams
- Slow access to consolidated revenue, margin, and profitability data
- Reporting processes that strain ERP performance during peak periods
Over time, these workarounds create risk—slowing decisions and eroding confidence in the numbers.
Microsoft Fabric: A Natural Extension of Dynamics 365
Microsoft Fabric isn’t a replacement for Dynamics—it’s an extension of it.
Fabric is designed to work seamlessly with Dynamics 365, enabling organizations to continuously replicate operational data into a dedicated analytics environment. This allows teams to analyze, model, and report on data without impacting ERP performance.
With Microsoft Fabric, Dynamics customers can:
- Move reporting and analytics workloads off the ERP system
- Access near real-time data for finance and operations reporting
- Create a consistent, trusted data foundation for Power BI
- Reduce manual data preparation and reconciliation
The result is faster, more reliable insight—without disrupting day-to-day operations.
What Changes When Reporting Moves to Fabric
When Dynamics data flows into Microsoft Fabric, reporting shifts from reactive to proactive.
Organizations gain:
- A single, trusted view of financial and operational performance
- Faster close cycles and more confident forecasting
- Consistent metrics across finance, operations, and leadership
- The ability to analyze trends without waiting on month-end processes
Instead of asking “Which report is correct?”, teams can focus on “What should we do next?”
Elevating Reporting with Microsoft Fabric: A Case Study
One company, a large roof repair and replacement provider, faced the challenge of disconnected data systems, which hindered their ability to generate cohesive and reliable financial reports. This led to inaccurate insights on revenue and profits, increasing the risk of making poor business decisions. By integrating Microsoft Fabric with their Business Central instance, the company was able to eliminate these data silos and ensure a seamless flow of information across systems.
This integration allowed the company to generate real-time, accurate reports, improving decision-making related to revenue and profit management. Not only did the solution enhance their immediate reporting process, but it also laid the foundation for future scalability, enabling the business to adapt quickly as it grows.
Why Fabric Matters Now for Dynamics Customers
Microsoft Fabric represents Microsoft’s direction for analytics across the entire business applications ecosystem. For Dynamics customers, it provides:
- A modern analytics platform purpose-built for Microsoft workloads
- Tight integration with Power BI and future AI capabilities
- A scalable alternative to custom data warehouses
- A clear path forward for analytics modernization
Rather than bolting on additional tools, Fabric simplifies the data architecture while expanding what’s possible.
