InetSoft's SQL Reporting Tool

InetSoft formed in 1996 to deliver SQL reporting tools that would be more productive for database analysts to use compared to the traditional methods of SQL programming. Soon thereafter the company's first reporting tool, Style Report, began winning awards from developers - starting an 8-year streak of Readers Choice awards from the Java Developer Journal for best reporting tool.

Today Style Report continues to lead among SQL reporting tools for:

• its strengths in being able to produce pixel-perfect output to meet the most demanding of formatting requirements
• for the time it saves versus hand-coding SQL thanks to a drag and drop interface
• without sacrificing any of the control and flexibility that other GUI tools lack

Style Report is offered as a stand-alone reporting application in two editions:

Style Report Enterprise provides a zero-client, Web-based application for:

• - production reports
• - interactive reports
• - ad hoc reports

Style Report Enterprise's small footprint, 100% Java, pure Web architecture delivers an embedding and integration-ready platform. This software, designed for ad hoc reports, not only integrates with any Web user interface, it also leverages the same application server platform as that of the embedding application.

Style Report Professional provides:

• - an ad hoc report engine
• - an API
• - an authoring environment

Style Report Professional allows IT professionals to create sophisticated production reports that can be deployed for server based, or desktop based applications. The small footprint and 100% Java architecture makes it an ideal solution for embedded ad hoc reports. It is based upon XML, JavaScript, and other open standards technology that allows IT to fully leverage existing skills.

Style Report is included in InetSoft's Style Intelligence business intelligence solution. View this 5-minute Flash demo to see some of the reporting capabilities of this SQL reporting tool.
