Reporting for the Real World

We can manage reporting needs for dynamic reports, which can be altered live, culling vital decision-making information from a complex database or hard-copy reports which can be created online and printed out as if they were made on any local application.

For dynamic reports, we use both propriatary interfaces for extraction of data in a customized format as well as leveraging existing systems like Microsoft Web Objects to interface with MS OLAP Report servers. Additional systems, like RadarCube OLAP service interfaces (http://radarcube.com) are also extremely effective for such dynamic reporting.

More often, hard-copy reports are simply necessary. To maintain a professional level of business, activities such as sending an invoice to a client, requires a real document, not some HTML formatted email or a hyperlink to webpage. Even if the format is to be email, the invoice must be an attached document that the user can print.

Our reporting servers link to your database to create PDF documents which are customized to mirror whatever your current system provides. Written using abcPDF (http://abcpdf.com/) we can produce clean and efficient reports. Moreover, many web browsers include the URL of the webpage on the footer of any printout. With a PDF report, the URL will never be included in the printout.

Invoices, Warehouse Reports, Purchase Orders, Work Logs, Account Statements and Corporate Records all require professional documents which are uniform and clean. Morris Development can provide this level of service, faster and more efficiently than any other online database developers.
