Editor's Notes
- Hello everyone. Thanks for taking the time to join us today to learn about Modern Reporting at Scale.
- SHANE
- Reporting is the only type of analytics that does not leave room for interpretation. It is a statement of fact meaning information can be distributed and be interpreted in
- SHANE
- Why are most people are still making decisions without data? Because the BI industry has tried to solve this problem with one new tool after another. But people want immediate answers to their questions, not tools. For some, like a data analyst, the answer might come from a dedicated analytics tool. For most though, the answer needs to surface within the applications and collaborative platforms they use every day, not some specialized analytics tool which they will never use.
- “Reporting, dashboards, advanced visualization and end-user self-service are given the highest priority initiatives in enterprises focused on making BI a strategic foundation for growth” Reporting is the only type of analytics that does not leave room for interpretation. It is a statement of fact meaning information can be distributed and be interpreted in
- Describe how you do reporting today? I use jasperreports (just the library) I use jaspersoft (library + server) I use another reporting
- Any time: reports can be scheduled to run around the clock Any volume: as customers grow, their reporting demands grow and the volume of reports and schedules multiplies Any format: as well see later, reports are not for single device consumption any more role of self-service requirements easy to use (excel-like) control over data access (data-level security) platform for distribution Branding / reports are part of a company’s identity The visualization is the truth. What a report is telling you is consistent over time. Add bit on consistency and how that improves people’s ability to consume them over time
- So we talked about datasources, what about the ways the data is consumed? It’s evolved considerably as well! Build the slide: Fully Interactive HTML5 visualizations: change chart types, sort, filter, conditionally format Excel Output: Data only, no formatting JSON/XML output: Sometimes the data is for machine consumption Mobile: View reports on any screens or offline Embedded: into the 3rd party applications that the 75% access every day And of course, the traditional pixel perfect exports like PDF, Word, PPT
- Reports are data visualizations The source of truth: now interactive Integrate visualizations into the app workflow Avoid having to write microservices to support visualizations Allow exports of formatted reports and data
- Audience implements the information they need, when and in what form The happiness from control for an individual or group Reduces or eliminates development backlog Needs to be easy to use Data level security Access available content Avoid the Excel problem Can be wrong Implement standard, locked down reports to be definitions of key information
- Here’s another area that we see trending – customers using something other than relational databases to create reports. We’re not talking about data that is sent into a data warehouse, simple operational reports from operational applications. Our customer, Lufthansa Systems has over 300+ customers which are other airlines, they provide services for them. Innovation is slow in this industry, particurarly when it comes to data but these guys wanted to modernize their stack – one area that their current tools just didn’t work was when data is stored more flexibly Two projects
- In the past 24 months, select all the reporting issues you've dealt with: Scaling problems (volume, size) Costing too much New datasources More interactivity and more output types required Report development workload too high Inability to change data Other
- SLA reqs: as reporting becomes more critical, the expected time (SLA) for delivery gets more closely managed New apps: more and more apps need embedded reporting Self service: pressure from business to allow less technical users to create reports Aging tech: many of the classical reporting tools were made in the early/mid 90’s Retiring tools: some vendors retiring tech that is in production with less attractive offers (e.g. Oracle but don’t mention ) Prices: lots charge per user
- These are the traditional reporting access methods. SQL: Lets you connect directly and write reports in SQL. Tried and tested! BATCH: An ETL process allows combining, clensing, and standardizing the data for reporting. Still very important today! OLAP: Abstracted the complexity of the data. Can be hard to maintain. More for analysis than reporting
- So you still have the traditional ones…but now IT has to deal with these Web Services: The data might be stored in one way but exposed through modern RESTful APIs and Enterprise Service Buses- hiding the complexity of the underlying sources NoSQL: These new types of databases usually have their own query language for querying and can offer data structures and query languages that are more convenient or purpose built BigData: Big Data sources need reports too, traditional methods like ETL, OLAP or in-memory processing are not an option here Federated: This data access method allows a combination of other sources, like a live ETL process – instant access to data mixed with other
- Jaspersoft is an embeddable reporting and analytics platform designed for software companies. Let’s start by doing a quick overview of Jaspersoft. I want to introduce you to a few important aspects of who uses it, what it does, why our platform is particularly well suited for software builders.
- Build any type of report, sometimes there are very complex look & feel, data access and logic in reports and we give you everything you could need.
- Reporting workbooks Workbooks, jrPrint process, REST, Scaling, Datasources, Snapshots, CVC, HTML5, data-centric export REST API BI tools have always had APIs but they were either very specific to a language (like C++) or were extremely complex. Jaspersoft was one of the first to adopt REST as a standard and it’s extremely easy for a developer to pick up and place reports wherever they want Visualize.js Embedding was something that was done since the 1990s when BI started – prorprietary Apis to get reports. but the way we are doing it is completely different. By embedding visualizations through a javascript API we are allowing power, control and ease. Custom Visualization Component Need a unique visualization just for your report? We’ve devloped a method for including any type of visualization from any javascript library like d3.js Infinite- and auto-scale And with all this comes scale – we want to be able to spin up servers to take care of report load. We can do this easily by running Japsersoft in a clustered environment. We have customers that have to send 100s of thousands of reports to their clients and rely on our scalable architecture
