Financial Planning and Reporting Roadmap

Well I just attended the Financial Planning and Reporting roadmap here at Convergence. They were talking about Management Reporter which will by the Dynamics CPM (Corporate Performance Management) solution. The problem is we will not get Management Reporter until 2010 with GP 11. When we do get Management Reporter it will only replace FRx 6.7. We will still need to use Forecaster or Enterprise Reporter for budgeting.

The plan is for Management Reporter 3.0 to offer budgeting but that will not be until 2012 and advanced budgeting and consolidation will not come until 2014.

So it looks like we still need keep moving forward with Forecaster for the next few years.
