Building information
Information Builders, the enterprise business intelligence solution provider, is making WebFOCUS Quick Query, the industry’s first ad hoc reporting tool for business users, available with no per-user fee. Unlike many business intelligence tools that are geared toward advanced users with complex information requirements, Quick Query was designed to meet the needs of more novice users. The product is the first of its kind to offer users the source code for a completely customisable ad hoc tool that can be deployed for an unlimited number of users, so that customers no longer need to buy a seat-based license for an ad hoc solution. WebFOCUS Quick Query is tailored to run and display quickly a WebFOCUS report in any desired output such as HTML, Excel 2000, or PDF.
With user-friendly drag-and-drop functionality, users can rapidly select columns and run data-sorts specific to the task at hand. WebFOCUS Quick Query gives a non-technical user the ability to access quickly any data source and generate reports complete with data visualisation, conditional styling, subtotals, filtering, and corporate logo. WebFOCUS Quick Query has a thin-client architecture, which enables users to build and save new reports via the Internet, without the requirement for additional desktop software, plug-ins, or Java.
