Pentaho Report Designer

With all the emphasis on pretty Ad-Hoc analysis, traditional reporting seems a bit boring but remains crucially important. Users need hard copy reports to present to clients, email as attachments, read on personal devices or simply print and review.

Pentaho Reporting creates pixel-perfect reports in different formats (Excel, PDF, HTML) ready for distribution. Reports definitions are hosted on the Pentaho BI Server and populated with the very latest business data when retrieved. Users can access reports directly via the web or receive them from email on a scheduled basis.

Millersoft can help to integrate information from multiple operational systems into a single report. We can also define dynamic filters, e.g. allowing users to report on a specific region or department direct from the BI Server. Millersoft can help make report design simpler through the creation of a Meta-Data layer, which hides the database complexity and allows users to create reports from attributes with business meaning.
