Enterprise Reporting Systems (ERS)
With the dramatic expansion of information technology, and the desire for
increased competitiveness in corporations, there has been an increase in the use
of computing power to produce unified reports which join different views of the
enterprise in one place. Termed Enterprise Reporting, this process involves
querying data sources with different logical models to produce a human readable
report. One example would be to query the Human Resources databases and the
Capital Improvements databases to show how efficiently space is being used
across an entire corporation.
Enterprise Reporting is a fundamental part of the larger movement towards
improved Business Intelligence and Knowledge Management.
Often implementation involves Extract, Transform and Load (ETL) or data
warehousing, procedures into a reporting data warehouse and then use of one or
more reporting tools. While reports can be distributed in print form or via
email, they are typically accessed via a corporate intranet.
At S.E.E.D.© Technology Center we utilize Business Objects
(formally Crystal Reports) to perform ETL activities and present that
information in an understandable report layer that makes sense, so that you can
access, format, and deliver data inside and outside your organization.
Enterprise Reporting provides business intelligence to the masses by
delivering the detailed information that impacts decision-makers throughout the
enterprise. Enterprise Web reporting tools, or Web-based reporting systems,
allow companies and organizations to gain a better understanding of all of their
business by putting critical information in the hands of all those who need it –
employees, managers, partners, and customers. A true enterprise reporting tool
must be capable of accessing all of the information assets in the enterprise and
it must support wide-scale deployment – potentially hundreds or even thousands
of users – not just a handful of power users.
Here at S.E.E.D.© Technology Center we can develop a reporting
system that right for your organization. |
