Operational Business Intelligence

Operational Business Intelligence Powered by JReport

Operational Business Intelligence (BI) puts important, real-time information into the hands of the people at the front line of business and the information consumers across the enterprise. These end users need to understand their business at a detailed level and make operational decisions that require real-time data that is part of an application.

Traditional BI architectures, such as data warehouses or data marts, cannot keep up with the dynamic data in the application. Operational BI requires:

• Tight integration with the application managing the business process including consistent user interfaces and reporting that leverages the application's business logic.
• Real-time access to the enterprise data, regardless of format: relational databases, Java objects, Enterprise Java Beans and XML.
• High performance engines to generate and distribute reports within tight deadlines.
• Easy-to-understand, pixel-perfect presentation of information in business standard documents like HTML, DHTML, PDF, Excel, RTF, and Postscript.
• Robust analytics based on dynamic cube technology and an embedded semantic layer.

JReport 8 allows application developers to build information presentation and analytics directly into Java EE applications and business processes, to enable Operational BI. JReport is the only reporting solution that can embed within the Java EE application and deliver Operational BI.

Embedded Reporting Is the Best Architecture for Operational BI

JReport delivers Operational BI via Embedded Reporting. By integrating sophisticated reporting functionality in enterprise applications, organizations can:

• Access, analyze and deliver real-time data.
• Unlock critical business data hidden within applications.
• Accommodate the growing number of information consumers across the enterprise.
• Deliver sophisticated reporting functionality as a natural extension of enterprise applications.
• Offer "self-service" reporting for report creation and dynamic modification.

JReport 8 works within Java-based applications and becomes a native part of their architectures. Because JReport resides within the application, it has unprecedented access to information with zero latency. JReport doesn't just query a database, JReport sees and reports on the application's data as it changes within the application. The result is a clear view into the underlying business processes.
