Support for Microsoft® Office
When the business users have selected the desired report and data, the results can easily be downloaded into standard Office formats such as Excel®, Word® or PDF. Using Microsoft® Office 2010, a user can create data feeds to extract the native report data into Excel® 2010. This allows further analysis of data using e.g. pivot tables.
Script-free reporting
Based on standard Microsoft® products, report templates can be created by architects or analysts using Microsoft® Visual Studio® and deployed as report templates. These templates are employed by business users. A report template offers the user a choice of selection criteria to narrow the result set of data. In this way very flexible reports are deployed to the users.
With a web-based front-end business users can manage their own, individual report templates by modifying existing or creating new templates
