BIRT Compatibility iServer Value to You
Avoid redesigning e.Reports to BIRT during Upgrade Report redevelopment estimated at 40 hours per report by customers 70 Custom e.Reports redevelopment estimated at USD 500k by ATCO Eliminate reporting risk to your Upgrade go live Custom report redesign difficult to estimate Inconsistent reporting functionality and output a big issue for users Deliver Enhanced Functionality to Users Rich Interactivity and dashboard analytics for user productivity Combine Maximo data with data from other systems Cross application reporting for one Business view Increase the Return on Your Maximo Investment Deliver asset information to non-Maximo users Custom reports are key to value on the output side from Maximo They are developed over a period of time to fit business process Perhaps people who developed them may have left All reasons why the effort is difficult to estimate.
