BIRT for the Enterprise

BIRT for the Enterprise

Enterprise information management solutions present unique challenges: security, scalability, ease of use to name a few. Innovent Solutions works with many technology vendors that supply enterprise ready BI and reporting solutions that are designed to address these challenges. For many organizations, we strongly recommend the purchase and adoption of an appropriate commercial information management technology.

That said, we recognize that all commercial products have trade-offs and limitations; a business intelligence tool is not going to magically solve your information management problems and the costs can be prohibitive.

Some organizations have made a commitment to the use of open source software (OSS). They recognize that OSS is not a free ($) solution. These companies are willing pay the development and maintenance costs that are a part of OSS because they value the freedom to own the technology.

For a company that has made the leap to OSS, BIRT makes an excellent OSS business intelligence and reporting platform. BIRT's licensing model, strong developer community, and solid base technology (Eclipse and OSGI) provide the technology to create complete enterprise business intelligence and reporting solutions.

Innovent Solutions enterprise BIRT solutions are designed to support multiple business units and projects. At the core of our solutions we focus on security, scalability and performance. System integration with the related enterprise systems is the critical glue that makes the information management system robust and useful. Finally, the entire system needs to be wrapped with the appropriate interfaces that allow projects to take advantage of the platforms services.

Ease of use is crucial to enterprise BIRT. When the end user arrives at the system they need to have clean user interfaces that are easy to navigate. At the same time the program interfaces (APIs) exposed to the projects and business units using the system need to be easy to adopt and integrate. Finally, creating new content for the system needs to be easy.
