“Although Reporting Services is feature rich, organisations have been reluctant to embrace it because it lacked a self-service query capability…”
Gartner Business Intelligence Magic Quadrant Report, 2006
For those who use Microsoft SQL Server and are thinking of using or are already using Reporting Services for construction and delivery of reports, RSinteract product is an essential tool. No other product exists to use the power of the Reporting Services engine to deliver a truly interactive self-service business intelligence interface for the masses.
Return on Investment (ROI) will be seen in days or weeks, not months or years – we are so confident of this claim that we offer a full refund to any customer who is not entirely satisfied. So what does RSinteract really do?:
For Business Users:
- Provides intuitive self-service reporting and analysis.
- Allows them to build their own Reporting Services reports from an intuitive non-technical web browser interface (with no plug-ins or downloads).
- Provides the same intuitive interface whether working with relational data (SQL Server and Oracle) or Analysis Services / UDM cubes from SQL Server 2005/2008.
- Gives them the ability to interact with reports directly without using an abstracted report editor.
- Enables them to conduct interactive analysis from existing reports without having to start from scratch each time.
- Reduces reliance on IT and latency of information access.
For Report Writers / MI Professionals:
- Speeds up the creation of Reporting Services reports dramatically on both relational (SQL Server and Oracle) and cube data from SQL Server 2005/2008.
- De-skills the creation and editing of Reporting Services reports.
- Removes the need for Visual Studio to build sophisticated fully interactive Reporting Services reports for business users.
- Does not restrict sophistication and flexibility of report creation, despite simplicity of use.
- Allows template reports to be built quickly and easily for business users.
- Provides end user report interactivity, formatting quality, and multiple report types that Report Builder and Report Designer cannot.
- Does not require report designers to predict every possible interaction or modification that a business user may wish to perform to a report, as interactivity is extended to the end user.
For Financial & Corporate:
- Flexible licensing models for both entry and enterprise level installations.
- Faster (and therefore cheaper) production of reports on both relational and Analysis Services / UDM cube data.
- Zero footprint, simple server install, no client software or downloads, all user deployment via a standard web browser, non-intrusive implementation and upgrade management.
