Executive Summary

Reporting is fundamental to all companies. Most companies strive to standardize on a single reporting and analysis platform to deliver analytic, business, and enterprise reporting, but it is a reality for very few. There is no one single reporting and analysis platform that can deliver every feature and function needed. The direction that companies should take is to adopt a standard that can support at least two of the three different reporting types and fill in gaps with emerging XML and Web services capabilities, advanced visualization, and process definition whenever possible.
