| InnView - The browser based reporting tool providing a better overall view of your business data. |
 |
InnView's power comes from its ability to deliver data from multiple sources within your business to its users in a secure and consistent user experience where simple point, click and drill down technology will allow information discovery.
It encompasses and enhances the power of SQL databases and Crystal Reports to deliver data from many data sources to your users. Your business, like everyone elses will have its data in many different places. These may be spreadsheets, legacy systems, accounting systems, stock systems, and bespoke databases that have evolved over the years. InnView and SQL Server can be used to centralize this information into one Data Warehouse where the information can be collected, summarized and presented to the users, often giving the company the chance to look at their data in a different way.
NEW FOR 2008: New for 2008 is new automation and scheduling functionality allowing you to set up all your reporting to run automatically. Imagine being able to set up your reports, set the recipients and schedule your reports. They will then appear on your desktop automatically as scheduled, no matter how complex that report may be.
InnView Product Highlights
Browser Based Delivery Tool – gives a consistent, corporate method of delivering Crystal based reports through a web browser – much simpler than deploying access on individual client PCs.
| o Secure – password protected access to the portal giving the ability for an Administrator to build a personalised list of reports for individual employees / departments |
|
o Intuitive GUI – based on commonly used Windows Explorer type front-end, reducing the amount of end user familiarisation required |
| o SQL Integration – ability to create summary tables (data warehouses) containing summarised data which allows much quicker reporting on large volumes of data. |
|
o Combining of multiple databases – using summary tables it is possible to report across multiple databases at the same time – Finance, Warehousing, Operation databases etc. |
| o Trend Analysis – the use of SQL summary tables allows extensive trend analysis. Many SQL based applications store information on a transactional level at the point in time it happens. This means it can be difficult to obtain cumulative figures for comparison of a range of dates but can easily be done with InnView |
|
o Ease of data import – as long as the source database has a method of exporting information – ODBC etc – the information can easily be brought into summary tables within SQL. |
| o Crystal Reports engine – no specific programming knowledge required, everyday Crystal Reports expertise will allow creation and publication of reports based on non-summary table information within InnView. |
|
o Export your reports - the system allows you to extract and convert your reports into many industry standard formats from HTML to PDF. |
