2. Ad Hoc Reporting
Ad hoc: ”improvised” or “impromptu”
Ad Hoc Reporting Example
A large financial institution with many financial
representatives, each with their own territory. With ad
hoc reporting, financial reps can create their own reports
displaying their goals, new transactions, number of client
visits, etc. Thus, reps can easily create the custom reports
that they need for themselves or to share with others,
from the same or different data source.

Notas do Editor
Use the wrong icons for the four solutions.
Didn't explain VA enough.. just read it
Explaining Synchronized refresh wasn't smooth
You over-explained the Excel stuff
Don't say Real-time charts and Mobile stuff are self-explanatory
Global customer base slide wasn't too smooth, and not brief
You keep thanking ppl… like four times
Transition from video back to slides wasn't smooth

Advantages to using JReport to embed BI into your application:
So one of the main reasons is that you’re able to leverage your existing infrastructure. It’s not like you have to buy a new dedicated server with a huge number of CPU’s and huge amount of memory so you can run JReport. The footprint is very lightweight and it can run natively within your existing hardware.
