INTRODUCTION:
 It is also called as Enterprise Reporting.
 With the dramatic expansion of information technology, and the desire
for increased competitiveness in corporations, there has been an
increase in the use of computing power to produce unified reports which
join different views of the enterprise in one place. This process involves
querying data sources with different logical models to produce a human
readable report—for example, a computer user has to query the Human
Resources databases and the Capital Improvements databases to show
how efficiently space is being used across an entire corporation.
 Reporting can be used in another mean for verification and cross-
checks.
 A business report is a collection of data and analysis that helps make
