As eConnect was introduced for GP 7.5 and the direction was targeted to rewrite Great Plains Integration Manager in eConnect, versus old OLE connectors IM integration performance was increased dramatically.

General philosophy recommends you to offload reporting logic into SQL Server stored procedures and views
