Compiling and retrieving
reports for management,
sales and back-office
personnel should not have to
be slow and tedious,
inefficient and costly. Yet,
this has been a challenge
for every enterprise,
business, government and
educational venue since
documents were first
produced.
First, where are the
documents you need and what
do they contain? Next, how
can you get specific
information from them to
meet your present and future
needs? For some, mountains
of paper burden the process.
For others, it is the
nightmare of multimedia not
being leveraged by the
company network, let alone
the web.
Report Mining from the
WebXpress Online repository
delivers the ability to take
data within reports and
apply a template or model
against them to turn the
information into a live
database that users can
access, sort, filter,
summarize, and graph.
In other words, report
mining turns your repository
or archived data into
up-to-the-minute
information, the kind of
management gold you need to
make decisions ahead of the
competition. It puts an end
to the old, slow and tedious
process of having to compile
reports and retired
information, and then assess
it. Gone are the
inefficiencies, added costs,
and mountains of paper – not
to mention the potential for
omission and inaccuracy.
Think about the kind of
information you can mine
from existing, day-to-day
documents such as invoices,
sales data, statements,
contracts, account activity,
receipts, ledger balances
and general customer
information. Anyone in
management will tell you
that spells strategic
advantage.

Report Mining Features
The WebXpress Report Mining
capability takes structured
text data within reports –
commonly referred to as
greenbar or line data
reports – and applies a
template or model against
them to turn the information
into a live, immediately
usable database.
For example, by modeling a
particular report type, the
data in the columns and
header can then be analyzed
with functionality similar
to a spreadsheet, where rows
represent individual
detailed transactions.
The detail data can then be
analyzed in various ways
including; sorting,
filtering and totaling data;
adding new calculated fields
of data; using formulas and
functions; producing
summaries of data with
subtotals, grand totals, and
automatic graphs; opening
multiple copies of the same
report in one report mining
session for trends and other
analysis such as analyzing
three monthly reports at the
same time to perform a
quarterly analysis; or
exporting desired data to MS
Excel, Access, and other
applications.
Other functions key to
report mining include the
ability to search across
multiple reports for
specific information on the
same or different host
computers, and then create a
statistical report and/or
consolidated view of the
data.
WebXpress Online requires no
capital investment or
proprietary software on the
end user's desktop. All the
user needs is a web browser
and free Adobe viewing
software. WebXpress's
experienced experts will
capture a company's report
needs and quickly have an
inquiry/retrieval website up
and running, typically in
less than ninety days.
By outsourcing and web
enabling the report
retrieval system, a
company's production and
infrastructure costs will be
reduced. With WebXpress
providing the technical
expertise, report
applications are more
quickly implemented – saving
time and money in end-user
training and program
development.
