Hello, everyone. We have yet to venture into web-based reporting, and I have not seen any recent discussion on the topic here. We have an academic ERP system (DB2/RPG) that does finances as well as student information recordkeeping. Reporting is a sore point. We do not want a data warehouse that copies the data on a scheduled basis and produces stale reports. It's live, real time, or nothing. We anticipate that most queries would be developed in IT and published for the users to run, perhaps with some parm options.
I have seen lots of press on IBM Web Query, as well as competing apps from independent software vendors. I would be very interested to hear what you have chosen for your shop and what the deciding factor was.
I've been using jasperreports for this sort of thing. The deciding factor was that it is all java and therefore portable across systems. It produces HTML, PDF, CSV, and Excel output.
