Access and interact with reports
even when you are disconnected
from your network.From professional report authors responsible for designing one-to-many reports for the enterprise to business users who want to create their own ad-hoc queries or customize existing reports, IBM business intelligence software has reports and reporting capabilities that meet the needs of any user in your organization.

Reports for everyone
IBM business intelligence software includes capabilities for authoring reports, viewing reports and modifying reports and queries that meet all the needs of users, no matter where or how they work:

• Professional report authors can design, build and securely distribute multilingual reports to the enterprise.
• Business users can easily create their own reports on the fly or modify existing reports using trusted data without having to ask IT.
• IT administrators can deploy, manage and expand the reporting application from a central console that streamlines administrative tasks.
• The mobile workforce can access and interact with reports on mobile devices, in Microsoft Office applications, in embedded and in-process business intelligence and while disconnected.

Architecture and data sources
Designed for enterprise-level deployment, the reporting capabilities in IBM business intelligence software offer proven scalability to hundreds of thousands of users through an N-tiered, multi-server, multithreaded architecture. This design provides full failover recovery and dynamic load balancing. You have access to a wide range of heterogeneous data sources, reducing the complexity of your reporting environment and giving you an opportunity to gain a complete and consistent view of the business.

Single metadata layer for all reporting
Regardless of the variety of reporting your organization performs, all reporting data passes through a single metadata layer common to IBM business intelligence software. The metadata layer manages translation from the data you need to the information you see. You can report, analyze, measure and monitor your performance with a single view of all data sources.
