Reaping the Benefits of Client/Server computing

The migration to client/server computing reflects changes in both the business environment and information technology. As organisational hierarchies are flattened, individual job responsibilities are broadened. Client/server architecture hides application boundaries, provides transparent access to data and puts the user in control. The resulting improvement in productivity can make the entire organisation more flexible and more competitive.

But to achieve the benefits of client/server computing, users must have tools that allow them to access and analyse data - quickly and easily - regardless of the complexity of the data or where it is stored.

Front & Center for Reporting is a powerful tool for unlocking data across the enterprise and transforming it into meaningful information. By combining object-oriented graphical user interface (GUI) technology with a robust and proven fourth-generation language (4GL), Front & Center makes it point-and-click easy to combine, compare and analyse data.

Reporting Functionality Spanning the Enterprise

Front & Center for Reporting is the visual reporting tool that has both the power to handle your most sophisticated reporting requirements and the ease of use that makes it the tool of choice for business users across the enterprise.

Front & Center's object-oriented, event-driven interface puts the user in control. Its intuitive "what-you-see-is-what-you-get" (WYSIWYG) style of reporting makes it easy to produce virtually any report, from the simple to the complex. And underneath the visual interface, the full power of a robust 4GL is available for examining and tuning your report requests.
