The Java reporting products from BIRT Exchange are developed by our sponsor, Actuate Corporation. Some products are available in Open Source form, some are free and the rest have downloads available for 90 day evaluation. Most products and services can be purchased online at BIRT Exchange.
BIRT (Business Intelligence and Reporting Tools) is the open source BI offering with the most momentum, with over three million downloads in less than three years. The BIRT product line includes open source and commercial versions of report designers and report generation engines, a lightweight report repository with a web UI; and a report server with scheduling, security, and administration services.
The most used Business Intelligence tool is Microsoft Excel, but automating its data collection and spreadsheet creation is a challenge, and even more so in a Java application or environment. The Spreadsheet Automation products at BIRT Exchange include tools for Excel experts to automate spreadsheet generation and tools for Java developers to read and generate Excel logic and process Excel formulas in Java applications.
Report end users will always change their requirements and ask for design iterations once they know what is possible. The Ad Hoc and Interactive Reporting product line available at BIRT Exchange includes a BIRT Report Designer for End Users to create their own BIRT reports and an Interactive Viewer for End Users to reformat and rearrange BIRT reports to meet their analysis and personal needs.
BIRT Exchange products are easy to use, well documented and supported by a community of users; but training, services and support from the original source can kick-start projects, reduce learning curves and ensure best practices. BIRT Exchange offers flexible support agreements, professional services on everything from architectural integration to quick report writing and training in classroom and online formats.
