Overview
iServer offers excellent
reporting and analysis tools in its core engine. Architecture
modelers can extract catalogs, relationship matrixes, version
history and so on, covering almost all of their needs. However, in
certain cases, the data needs to be massaged or combined in ways
that the standard reporting does not support - while the ability to
export to excel means that such manipulation can be done outside of
the tool, which can be time-consuming and frustrating. In other
cases, the information needs to be formatted in a specific way.
Reporting Services solves these problems by allowing the
modeling team to create any report imaginable, formatted any way
they choose, with only a few clicks to set parameters. Enterprise
architecture teams can use iServer's Reporting Services environment
and pre-packaged reports to leverage maximum value from their
models and documents. These reports help users generate essential
EA documentation such as timeline roadmaps, Gap Analysis
comparisons and associated architecture documentation quickly and
easily. Reports are also available to audit and analyze enterprise
architecture content to assist with planning and corporate
decision-making. For customers with specific report needs and SQL
reporting skills, the user-friendly interface provided by the
iServer Reporting Database simplifies the creation and deployment
of custom reports.
