Benefits of Ad Hoc Reporting
One of the most important reporting and analysis features that business users request is the ability to create reports on demand.
Ad hoc reporting lets users create reports and answer business questions without having to know a query language or the technical structure and intricacies of the underlying data.
- Lets you get critical information to the right people at the right time. Self-service results plus automatic scheduling/delivery of information let you facilitate timely decision-making. Users get the information they need when they need it to answer critical, real-time questions.
- Flexibility for constantly changing environments. Business needs evolve. Answers to changing business questions become more critical. It’s impossible to predict what questions and answers users may need in the future.
- Saves training costs and time. Streamlines users' access to critical information. Easy-to-use wizard allows users to get up and running quickly, requiring less time to learn the application and providing clear guidance and saving time to build reports.
- Encourages collaboration and information sharing. Users can easily create, organize, publish and make reports available to other users via the Web for on-demand viewing.
- Reduces IT workload, saving valuable IT and report development costs and time. The Web-based reporting application itself can be deployed quickly for widespread availability to end users. Once deployed, it empowers users to build the reports themselves anytime they need the information. No waiting for IT report developers to build it for them.
