Here are some of the benefits a Business User will experience with a Dashboard Gear Toolkit:

• The Financial and Human Resources Reporting Toolkits allow easy report writing and analysis because the fields in the tables and cubes are easy to understand and use. 
• The data in the Financial and Human Resources Reporting Toolkits is intentionally de-normalized making report queries execute quickly, and allowing the data to be used in charts and graphs on Dashboard displays.
• All the fields needed for report writing are stored as database fields in the Financial and Human Resources Reporting Toolkits, eliminating the need to derive and calculate amounts thus significantly speeding up the reporting process and making report maintenance simple and fast. 
• There are no character or format limitations (as is the case with standard Lawson report writing) when using the Financial and Human Resources Reporting Toolkit database tables so a single report can contain all necessary fields.
• Data is available in both a Relational format and an Analysis Services format, allowing the data to be used for both reporting and analysis.
• The ability to embed Financial Metrics and Human Resources Metrics in the data allows the data to be more efficient and accurate than trying to build custom formulas on each report.
• The Financial and Human Resources Reporting Toolkits store data in a Microsoft Office friendly format and can be efficiently consumed by all of the tools in the LBI product family.
• The Financial and Human Resources Reporting Toolkits use data from Lawson structures directly, thus, as changes are made and refreshed to the Lawson system udates are reflected in the Dashboard Gear reporting structures.
• With the Financial and Human Resources Reporting Toolkits, reports can now be created in less time leading to greater and more efficient use of the reports which leads to easier and faster analysis of the financial and human resource data.
