telephone:InetSoft Product Information: Reporting Software - Ad Hoc Reporting Charts
InetSoft's reporting software has a chart tool that allows you to view complex data in a simple and straightforward manner. Read on to learn more about the Style Intelligence solution.
The chart is a widely used element in data presentation. It presents data in a graphical form and is very useful to convey implications of certain data in a succinct manner. For instance, a corporate presentation may use a pie chart to show the market share of the industry leaders. This is more easily understood than a table of numbers.

InetSoft Viewpoint |
"Our enterprise data mashup function lets take multiple data sources and combine them in such a way that they deliver a new context based on both or multiple sets of data. This is actually what a lot of business people have been doing in spreadsheets on their own. You keep hearing about the spread mart, and how the spreadsheet can never go away. A lot of what we have learned happening is people are doing mashups, basically, inside the spreadsheet. Actually, we now provide a way for IT to embrace those spreadsheets in an official way. An end user can importing that spreadsheet that they may have been maintaining on the side into our BI application. Now, it becomes shareable across the enterprise in the BI platform. The over-reliance on spreadsheets has been one of the biggest problem areas for most managers of business intelligence. Think about the “spreadsheet hell,” that’s the term they use. It has been very difficult, but a lot of the new BI products like ours are coming to market to help alleviate some of the problems that are associated with that. One more area that we are paying attention that might be of interest to your audience has to do with collaboration. Recently Web 2.0 has brought a lot of new collaboration tools and practices into popularity, such as wikis and blogs, which have increasingly been used in the enterprise. Previously it had been a consumer kind of phenomenon. We have heard our customers say, “you know what? A lot of collaboration is going on, and we want to be able to mash up our enterprise data in a collaborative away, also." - Luke Liang, CEO, InetSoft |
