Other Jet offerings


Jet Express for GP is not the only tool available for Microsoft Dynamics GP. There are two other tools in the Jet Reports toolbox: Jet Professional (formerly Jet Essentials) and Jet Enterprise. Depending on your needs, you may find that you need to upgrade to one of these advanced versions. Both these versions offer more advanced report-creation options and mobile/web reporting options. Jet Enterprise takes it another step further with business dashboards, KPIs, and security.

The cost-free Jet Express for GP is the bare bones of each of these offerings, but they have many more features, more than I've just mentioned. This being said, Jet Express is a great place to start. If you need more, you can leverage everything you've learned and built in Jet Express, which means a shorter time to the return on your investment.
