Reporting Platforms

Modern reporting systems serve to analyze, con­sol­i­date and provide a steadily increasing volume of data requiring due consideration of the statutory storage reg­u­la­tions. Based on index figures, daily information etc., further analyses and reports have to be gen­er­at­ed for the purpose of deriving possible chances and risks for concrete actions. This, in turn, demands high levels of availability, performance and scalability.

Integration

Due to an increasingly volatile and complex business environment, processing, quality control and storage of data are becoming more and more important de­sign criteria of an efficient reporting platform. In many cases, the required information is structured in such ways that it cannot be incorporated directly into the generation process of the desired reports. Com­mer­cial (Actuate, JReport, etc.) or open source (e.g. BIRT)

products are frequently used for the actual report gen­er­a­tion.

Report Management

Aside from generating predefined reports, the plat­form must provide a simple and efficient method for the user to define custom-made reports, create ex­e­cu­tion plans, and monitor the report generation pro­cess. Another important aspect of the platform is the distribution of reports within the company and among its customers. Access control must be handled by a so­phis­ti­cat­ed authorization system, capable of grant­ing access to specified data views, execution plans and report generation orders to individual users or spec­i­fied user groups.

Archiving

Legal regulations force companies to preserve re­ports over different periods of time. Therefore, existing archival systems must often be adjusted or extended to be consistent with these regulations.
