Report Central

ReportCental is a centralized reporting application. In traditional reporting - reports are always part of an application. Developers developing the application based on a specific requirement from the business user develops a set of reports and include them in the application. The problem with this approach is that these reports are hardwired and produce a standard set of data items, with parameters always pre-determined. The business users need to approach the developers for any change in the dataset or the output. Though almost all reporting tool does have the same limitation if we can develop a reporting infrastructure that lends to easy manipulation of the report metadata, new reports with varied dataset can be developed within no time. Datalytique's ReportCentral is such a tool that allows the creation of metadata that can be stored and reused any number of times to create flexible reports. ReportCentral is a web-based reporting application which makes it available throughout the enterprise. Users can be granted or denied access to reports by the administrator. The developers can login to ReportCentral and create new reports. The administrator can then make those reports available to the users as required. ReportCentral is thus a simple flexible system that can be used within an enterprise effectively.
