Reporting and Business Intelligence

While everyone understands the need for generating timely and accurate business reports, producing reports based on distributed enterprise information poses unique challenges, including:

• Data types. Most commonly used report writers and business intelligence tools function only with a limited range of data formats, such as ODBC and JDBC data sources. Without the ability to access data from any data source regardless of format, it's not possible to produce reports based on all the information that may be required.
• Multiple data sources. Report writers and business intelligence tools are mainly are designed to work with a single data source at a time, not access multiple data sources network-wide simultaneously, as if it were a single data source.
• Data aggregation. Report writers and business intelligence tools are not able to aggregate data that is sometimes stored in multiple tables or databases with each instance possibly representing a company, a call center or multiple years.
