) November 6, 2008 -- Izenda, a leading provider of ASP.NET reporting platforms, which enable self-service reporting for end users, launched Izenda Reports 5.6 today. The new release introduces exciting new ASP.NET analytical capabilities that once required complex tools and infrastructure to be implemented. Traditionally, a pivot report would have to be creating using sophisticated OLAP technologies and could cost thousands of dollars and weeks of implementation for a single report. Additionally, it required adding new layers of complexity in the form of cubes, data warehouses, OLAP servers or analysis engines to be added to the software infrastructure. This is now something that can be done by virtually anyone using nothing more than a browser and it's all possible through the power of AJAX.
Izenda's new offering lets users create a pivot or cross-tab report from a standard database without any technical involvement or changes to the database. This new capability will save some customers tens of thousands of dollars and makes it simpler to understand their business trends. Best of all, the ASP.NET reports can be customized over a browser by other users.
Izenda's technology connects to existing applications that need self-service ASP.NET reporting. While other tools like reporting services serve this need today, Izenda's advantage is that it is 100% browser-based for both report design, customization, and viewing. Traditional tools require an experienced developer to make any and all changes and then "publish" the new report to the server. Overwhelmed IT organizations often take weeks or months to publish new reports and that may be after an important sales presentation or business decision has already been made. Adding self-service ASP.NET reporting to applications lets the business user get the right reports right away without the wait.
Izenda CEO Sanjay Bhatia commented "Imagine a world where adding a comment to a blog article required IT or a consultant and took weeks to get completed. That's what reporting is like in most ASP.NET reporting applications today. This new release pushes self-service reporting to the masses in a dramatic way by giving users what they need right away." Chris Coursey, CEO of RoboTechnologies, which is one of Izenda's customers, said "Izenda Reports allowed us to deploy flexible self-service reporting to our customers in two days. Everyone was impressed!"
