The "Embrace Report Server" offers a simple and dynamic web reporting environment. The report writer offers 2 types of reporting format.

Our in-house high level programming fully extensible reporting language which takes characteristics from many well known programming languages. The syntax is instantly recognizable and self explanitory.
Jasper XML style reports

Simply write your reports in any simple text editor and upload the report to the reporting server via your web-browser. This can all be done in real time. If you use jasper reports then you can take advantage of the many jasper report writers that are available for developing a report before uploading to the report server.

Current features include...

User authentication built in
Server resource management. if someone is running the same report then only one instance of the report will run but each user will see the same report results. This saves on server resources
Dynamic report deployment. The reports are compiled on the server as and when any changes are uploaded
Report history. Previous user report results are stored for future lookup
Report auto input templates. This allows for any report to have any number of input templates assigned so that you can auto set values for each report run. This cuts down on the number of reports to develop when all you might need is a single report with different values for different reporting criteria
Charting and graphing

Next release

Scheduled report runs. This will also have the option to email the report result
Server side printing
User report dashboards. Any number of dashboards can be created which view specific reports. For instance you could have a dashboard for the current workload on the shopfloor or the current accounting period.
All of the above will also have a full permission system so that only specific reports/dashboards can be used by specified users
