EspressReport Enterprise Server (ERES) provides a powerful, centralized reporting architecture that leverages the functionality of EspressReport's pure Java reporting engine and extends it to the enterprise. With built-in report delivery capabilities, end-to-end user/data security, advanced ad-hoc reporting, query and analysis features, self-service dashboards, scheduling and scalable pure Java architecture, ERES empowers business users and provides a web-based alternative to traditional business intelligence (BI) implementations, and application specific, toolkit based reporting solutions.

EspressReport ES inherits its key functionality from Quadbase's EspressChart and EspressReport tools. EspressReport is a strong fourth generation Java reporting engine that contains all the advanced features that enterprise users demand in charts and reports.

Reports can be generated in a number of formats including HTML tables, DHTML style sheets, print quality PDF, Excel spreadsheets, Rich Text files, and XML and CSV data dumps. Reports can be constructed in a number of different layouts, using multiple tables and multiple data sources. Interactive drill-down reports and charts can be generated automatically.

A huge charting feature set is also supported. Users can generate over 30 different two-dimensional and three-dimensional chart types, plus many different combination/composite charts can be created. Powerful analysis features include trending, normal curves, and control lines/areas. Charts and graphs can be embedded within reports, or deployed on their own.

EspressReport ES provides interfaces to manage and retrieve report data from across the enterprise. User's can directly query databases with full SQL control. In addition data can be retrieved from Java classes, SOAP, EJBs, or using connection pools to leverage application model infrastructure. Legacy or application data returned in XML format can also be queried. Reports can be constructed using multiple data sources, and extensive parameterization features allow data to be dynamically filtered.

Administrative data source controls ensure that users can only query data relevant to them, and report security features can automatically apply data filters for the user/group that is running a report.

EspressReport ES provides several advanced scheduling features. Schedules can save reports to the file system on the server. Schedules can also email reports to selected recipients in a number of formats. Reports can be sent directly to network printers for batch printing, or published directly to FTP servers. Report bursting features allow large scheduled reports to be automatically sectioned based on grouped data and delivered separately to different users/groups.

Archiving/versioning features make it easy for users to save historical reports. Versioned reports contain a snapshot of data, and can be run/published in the same manner as standard reports. Interfaces allow users to select a version date, and run the archived report in any supported format.

Key Features:

• Full J2EE Integration: EspressReport ES deploys completely within application environments with no proprietary server-side processes.

• Centralized Report Repository: Users can collaboratively develop reports and charts on the server and automatically publish them to Web pages and portals.

• Flexible Design Tools: Report and Chart Designer launch remotely from the server-side, and provide powerful design environments for report and chart development.

• Ad-hoc Queries & Reports: Thin-client QuickDesigner interface allows users to easily perform ad hoc queries, create and publish ad hoc reports.

• Numerous Output Options: Run reports in applets or generate HTML/DHTML, PDF, Excel, RTF, XML, text, or CSV files.

• High-Powered Data Visualization: Draw over 30 different 2D and 3D charts with true 3D rendering. Embed charts in reports or deploy them independently.

• Complete Security: EspressReport ES supports full security model from design through deployment with remote administration.

• Full Data Connectivity: Draw data from databases, SOAP, XML sources, & Java objects/arrays/EJBs.

• Self-Service Dashboards: EspressReport ES makes it easy for you to create compelling dashboard presentations with a simple point and click zero-client interface.
