Sometimes the most impactful solutions are not new features, but existing capabilities that are misunderstood or underused. This is especially true when Lasernet is positioned purely as a reporting tool rather than a data-aware document engine.
The Challenge: Over-Engineering Data Extraction
Many customers and even Dynamics 365 partners assume that every piece of data required for a document must be explicitly passed into Lasernet. This leads to over-engineered integrations, bloated report logic, and unnecessary development effort.
In practice, this misunderstanding limits what teams believe is possible.
The Lasernet Approach: Intelligent Data Selection
The Lasernet Connector can retrieve and select required data on its own. Rather than being spoon-fed every value, Lasernet understands the document context and fetches the necessary information automatically.
When demonstrated, this capability has repeatedly surprised customers and partners alike. What they expected to require complex development was handled natively by the connector, simplifying both design and maintenance.
Why It Matters
The benefits are clear:- Reduced development: fewer data mappings and less custom logic
- Cleaner designs: documents driven by intent rather than over-extraction
- Better outcomes: teams use Lasernet as it was designed to be used
Reframing What Lasernet Can Do
When Lasernet is positioned correctly, it becomes more than a reporting tool. It is an intelligent document platform that understands data, context, and output requirements. Unlocking this mindset shift often delivers immediate value without additional investment.
