Windward Reports - an enterprise-level Java/J2EE reporting system

Is Windward the reporting solution you need? Maybe. In the 5 short paragraphs below we will describe what Windward can do for you. From that you should be able to determine if we are a good fit for your needs.

gears Windward Reporting Engine
Windward is composed of two distinct parts, the report designer and the reporting engine. The engine is similiar in functionality and capabilites to Crystal Reports, SSRS, etc., plus some significant additional functionality. It generally runs on one or more servers as part of your server based application and can easily produce hundreds of thousands of reports/day on a single server.
Note: The server is a pure Java (also available as pure .NET) product and does not use Microsoft Office.

AutoTag Template Designer
With Windward you design your reports in Microsoft Office. No training, no learning curve, and a UI that is superbly designed. Because it's Office, non-programmers can design their own reports, again with no training. And our Office AddIn AutoTag makes data layout and source mapping trivial.
Creating & revising reports is 10 - 20 times faster compared to other reporting systems.

Microsoft Word Document Generation
For document generation (and mail merge) Windward is a natural fit. You design your document in Word and pull in additional text & documents with a single tag. You can also repeat parts of the document, conditional include parts of the document, etc.
With Windward your template is a free form document, which is how document generation should be.
Microsoft Excel Excel Reports
When you design a report in Excel, it expands all references in the output so that a SUM(C3:C3) where row 3 is repeated 20 times in the output for 20 rows of data becomes SUM(C3:C22). For Excel output all of your formulas are still live. For other output the macros are evaluated and the result displayed. It also uses the full Excel cell formatting so you can have a different format for positive & negative numbers, etc.
Microsoft PowerPoint PowerPoint Reports
If you are creating PowerPoint reports, the natural tool you want to use to design the reports is PowerPoint.

If one or more of the above advantages address a serious problem you face, we can help you a lot. If you are spending a lot of time designing reports and/or you want non-programmers to design their own reports - we can save you a lot of time (and make report design enjoyable). If you are creating documents, spreadsheets, or powerpoint - we can give you a system where the designer is a natural fit for the report.

Your best next step is to download the demo and spend ½ hour creating a couple of reports (yes it really is that easy). If you have questions please call us (1 303 499-2544), email us, or request a consultation.
