Jinfonet Software and Composite Software Create New, Joint Solution that Expands Customers' Ability to View and Analyze Business Data in Real Time
JReport OnDemand Integration Combines Reporting with Real-time Information Integration
ROCKVILLE, MD. and SAN MATEO, CALIF. - March 20, 2006 - Jinfonet Software, the leading provider of embeddable reporting solutions for enterprise applications and maker of JReport embedded reporting solution for Java applications, and Composite Software, the leader in on-demand data integration, today announced that the companies have partnered to offer a new joint solution: JReport OnDemand Integration. The companies will co-market and co-sell the new reporting solution with out-of-the-box information integration capabilities.
The new jointly developed product addresses customers' demand for embedded reporting and operational business intelligence for all types of applications and systems. Virtually all applications benefit from improved reporting and data presentation, and through the partnership between the leader in Java-based reporting and the leader in enterprise information integration (EII), customers will have access to a powerful reporting solution that can be tightly integrated with data sources throughout their organizations.
JReport OnDemand Integration allows reports to be created based on information distributed throughout an organization. Composite's software pulls information from traditional data sources such as databases and packaged applications, and importantly, from countless other structured and semi-structured data sources including XML, Excel spreadsheets, flat files and Web services.
Composite's offering creates a unified abstraction layer for data across a company, allowing the data to be correlated regardless of which application it comes from. It presents "live" data from different sources as if the data exists in a single place. Complementary to a data warehouse, EII appears as a virtual database - transparently generating queries to multiple sources behind the scenes and combining information appropriately as it is returned. The benefits are more flexibility, unlimited detail and always-current data.
By using the combination of EII with sophisticated embedded reporting, customers can create reports based on information that spans multiple applications and sources, allowing a more comprehensive picture of business operations. With the growing number of data sources in today's IT environment, data integration is an ever-important requirement.
"Today's fast-paced businesses must have access to data that depicts an accurate picture of the current business conditions," said John Gularson, executive vice president for Jinfonet Software. "The ability to easily report on information from wherever it exists throughout the enterprise is revolutionary. Data is no longer confined to single applications - it spans applications and can be used across organizations to allow for strong business decision-making."
Because JReport and Composite's flagship product, Composite Integration Server(TM) (CIS), are both 100 percent Java based, they can be embedded directly into any application or Java environment, thus becoming a native part of the offering.
"We regularly see the need to combine information integration with a sophisticated reporting offering," said Christian Nall, vice president of worldwide field operations, Composite Software. "Composite pulls together the key technology elements that contain relevant data, and Jinfonet provides the reporting and presentation layer. The end user now has unprecedented access to enterprise information as well as a comprehensive way to visualize and analyze the information. This joint capability has the potential to fundamentally change application development."
The two products comprising JReport OnDemand Integration - JReport and CIS - have been tested and certified to work together seamlessly to deliver optimized results. Commercial application vendors can now offer their customers comprehensive, on-demand information for effective decision-making and business process execution.
Jinfonet OnDemand Integration will provide rich reporting results and access to a broad range of aggregated data. Information is presented in full-featured reports that display the data in numerous, customizable reports and charts. Product users can control, customize and navigate report views. Through ad-hoc and interactive reporting, they can investigate real-time actionable information.
Jinfonet OnDemand Integration is generally available.
