The analytics landscape has grown to cover a broad area across specialized solutions that cover the presentation layer, middleware and data store along with analytic applications that take on a solution-oriented view.
Within the presentation layer reporting, analysis, advanced analytics and dashboards are considered. Reporting can either be static or ad hoc. On one hand, static reporting means that the lay-out as well as the queries that define the data within the report are static. Ad hoc, on the other hand, allows a business user to create new reports from scratch, on-the-fly. In addition, the reports may be deployed in either an operational reporting or production reporting manner.
Nearly every person in an organization from average business user to analyst to executive could make use of both static and ad hoc reporting. Jaspersoft provides several open source and commercial products to manage static reporting including JasperReports (LGPL license) reporting library for developers, iReport (GPL v3 license) - a graphical desktop report designer built on JasperReports and JasperServer Community Edition (AGPL v3) license - a report server that lets you manage reports in a secured repository. iReport delivers very powerful and flexible ad hoc reporting to developers and power users and JasperServer Professional Edition provides all the features of JasperServer Community Edition and extends those to deliver ad hoc reporting for business users.
