Solution

Itransition’s Input

Besides minor improvements, Itransition worked on the application functionality enhancement in the following directions:

The developed advanced commenting engine enables to add context-dependent comments to a set of report columns/the data contained in them.
Report variables framework is used to define a set of report variables of different types (flag, text, date & time, etc.) that can be accessed from filters, report titles, etc. Using report variables, one can use calculated values to reckon subsequent values.

Pixel perfect reporting is the most significant feature embracing:

rich text formatting in report titles;
advanced reusable formatting in report headers;
custom style sheets defined when exporting reports to Word: users can customize fields’ layout or add objects to the exported report (text, company’s logo, additional tables, charts, etc).

Having selected Itransition as a strategic technology partner, InsightSoftware.com, Ltd. has released several versions of their award-winning BI product, with a number of releases scheduled to come.

The system is currently leveraged by more than 50,000 corporate end-users and outperforms its market competitors.
