Choosing a BIRT Report Designer

  • Have time and Java coding expertise to integrate report viewing and execution functions into your apps
  • Have time to write application routines to optimize reporting performance

For businesses, institutions & developers deploying BIRT for highly scalable, mission-critical applications:

  • Plan to deploy large numbers of reports
  • Have a growing number of users
  • Need to enable end user reporting
  • Expect user requirements to change over time
