Your Data. Your Way.

  • Microsoft Excel

Data Source Wizard for Visual Studio - DevExpress Reports

Curated Data Visualization

Comprehensive suite of UI elements.

The goal is simple: provide business users with the information required to monitor business outcomes and make intelligent, real-time decisions. While the goal may be simple, the reality is that most reports are rigid and don't allow users to efficiently explore information on their own terms. The evolving needs of the enterprise dictate that a reporting solution offer simple and straightforward end-user customization options so that report consumers can freely manipulate output to maximize information accuracy/data clarity.

Flexibility is key and ease-of-use paramount.
