The Changing Face of Business Reporting: The Impact of Web 2.0 and Other Technologies
Webinar Abstract
For the past decade, business reporting has been a staid affair: developers created static management reports and distributed them overnight via printers or email to hundreds of executives and managers. Although there is still is a (shrinking) role for these types of reports, new advances in Web and other programmatic and infrastructure technologies are making reports more interactive, more tailored, more mobile, and easier to develop, deploy, and consume. This Webinar will examine the impact on business reporting of new coding environments (AJAX, Flex, and Javascript), Web services (mashups, portal integration, and gadgets), the cloud (software-as-a-service), open source, and mobile computing. Fasten your seatbelt and come along for the ride! You'll get a quick tour of how you can renovate your reporting environment to optimize its usage and impact on the business.
