IMS offers a powerful report generating software feature. It will pull data (Index information) from the IMS database and arrange it in a more meaningful format.  Charts can be added to make complex information more understandable.  Maps can be used to display geographic information (sales by state etc).  The records can be sorted to display only the information you want to include.  The records can be grouped into relevant groups.  IMS Index data can be combined with other information and put into a single report.

Generate reports work with your database to help you analyze and interpret important information. It is easy to create simple reports or use more comprehensive tools to produce complex or specialized reports.  Traditional charts and graphs are confusing and boring to the audience, even static, staid, and standardized have all start to look the same.  If the need is to inform or persuade, our tools can help differentiate and wow your audience.

Create any report you can imagine
Produce a report from virtually any data source. Built-in report experts guide you step by step through building reports and completing common reporting tasks. Formulas, cross-tabs, sub reports, and conditional formatting help make sense of data and uncover important relationships that might otherwise be hidden. Geographic maps and graphs communicate information visually when words and numbers are simply not enough.

Extend reporting to the Web
Publish a variety of formats including Microsoft Word and Excel, E-mail and even over the Web. Advanced Web reporting lets other members of your workgroup view and update shared reports inside their web browser.

Incorporate reports into applications
Application and web developers can save time and meet their user’s needs by integrating this report processing power into their database applications. Support for most popular development languages makes it easy to add reporting to any application.

Whether it's the web master in IT, the promotion manager in marketing, the database administrator in finance or the CEO, our powerful tool designed can help everyone analyze and interpret the information that's important to them.
