Empowering End Users to Use Best of the Breed Reporting and Analysis Tools

As an ISV delivering applications into an enterprise or an IT department deploying an in-house application there is pressure by users to use their favorite tools to access the data. For example, many organizations use Brio or Cognos for reporting and Excel for analysis. These users are quite sophisticated at using these tools to create the reports they need. But all this works only if these tools can easily consume the underlying data source. Today that means the need to support ODBC or JDBC interface with SQL capabilities.

OpenAccess SDK lets an ISV or enterprises quickly make the data in its purpose built application appear like a SQL database accessible through ODBC or JDBC such that the tools work with it as if they were working with a SQL Server, Oracle, or DB2. The standards compliance, cross platform support, scalability, and robustness of OpenAccess allows it to be embedded in enterprise quality solutions. Data can be accessed at the file level, through a C/C++ API, COM objects, Java Object, or .NET objects.
