Enterprise Reporting
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
With the dramatic expansion of information technology, and the desire for increased competitiveness in corporations, there has been an increase in the use of computing power to produce unified reports which join different views of the enterprise in one place. Termed Enterprise Reporting, this process involves querying data sources with different logical models to produce a human readable report. One example would be to query the Human Resources databases and the Capital Improvements databases to show how efficiently space is being used across an entire corporation.
Enterprise Reporting is a fundamental part of the larger movement towards improved Business Intelligence and Knowledge Management.
Often implementation involves Extract, Transform and Load (See ETL) procedures into a reporting data warehouse and then use of one or more reporting tools. While reports can be distributed in print form or via email, they are typically accessed via a corporate intranet.
