Docentric seamlessly integrates with Microsoft Dynamics 365 and other popular business applications. Docentric stands out with its user-friendly interface and the ability to easily create, design, manage, and deliver complex document templates. Docentric makes it simple to automate and personalize documents.

Key Benefits:

  • Improving SSRS reports in terms of printing and design.
  • Improved print destinations.
  • Add-in for Microsoft Word for use when designing forms.
  • Using configurations for electronic reporting as the basis for output documents.

Docentric is available in a free version that offers full print destination and archiving functionality for SSRS and CBD reports. However, it is not possible to change the design or content of the reports in the free version.

Docentric offers a flexible and advanced output management solution for designing and distributing business documents from D365. Depending on customer requirements, X++ coding may be necessary.

Docentric does not require an additional server, but runs 100% as an integrated module in D365. However, the cost of adding additional processes to the AOS servers should be taken into account.

Docentric offers many of the same features as Lasernet when it comes to managing and designing reports. However, it does not offer the possibility of connecting to external data sources or transferring files via e.g. FTP or HTTP(s). Connections to infrastructure components such as mail servers and storage devices are made within D365.

Docentric does not provide a tool for automated testing of reports and has costs in the form of a licensing fee based on various parameters in D365.
