Document Generation Software

I just think I want to share it with anybody who need it and hopely it can help them to finish their Job with good result.......just read it and maybe you'll find what you need...

I'm jazzed about – of all things – reporting software. (My friends say I need to get out of the basement more often.) Because at my last company, we used the "market leader" in reporting and business intelligence. It really sucked. It was tedious (individually formatted fields?! Oh.......give me a break) and I kept getting interrupted by coworkers with many question after question, question and question.

really thanks to Santosh, my new boss who gave me the power to try out and ultimately choose reporting and document generation software for our company ( this is really great Job ). There are a few things I'm looking for. It has to be able to work with XML reports AND SQL reports. Our data is everywhere, but mainly SQL databases and XML files. We're not about to waste time transferring everything into one data storage format although we try to avoid Excel data and reports.

Our company has a lot of different programmers, so it also has to handle Java reports, .net reports, C# reports, visual basic reports, and C++ reports. And it would be great if it could create Python reports, PHP reports and Ruby reports. (That's my wish list, really. We have a cool new programmer who keeps bugging me about ruby on rails reports. Let me find something so I can dump a bunch of this work on someone else.Wkakakwkwkwkwkkkakakwkk)
Great job..........I'm in the middle of demoing Windward Reports and so far it's WAY better than what I was used to. They talk about their reporting software and business intelligence and say they can be used for java reports, dotnet reports and csharp reports. In our initial testing it has handled everything we've thrown at it. 

It's fast and strong. It didn't take long to design my first report. (Actually, I asked one of the HR people to design a template – she designed it in about 20 minutes. I just had to tweak the data tags.) And it looks like they're about to launch software that is programming language agnostic. But we haven't explored everything Windward is supposed to be able to do. And don't get me started on Excel reports... WOW...is that cool right?

Any experience with Windward's reporting software or business intelligence stuff? Let me know – especially if you think it sucks as much as the "rhymes with pistol" software. I don't want the headaches all over again.Just let me know...........................................
