We also prefer Jasper + iReports for Reporting. Process is bit complex but results are awesome!<br><br>Roshan<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Nov 18, 2009 at 10:22 PM, David Trainor <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:davidtrainor@windstream.net">davidtrainor@windstream.net</a>></span> wrote:<br>

great open-source reporting product called BIRT (Business Intelligence Report
Tool). It is a top level eclipse project driven by a 15 year old
enterprise reporting company called Actuate. It can be downloaded at
<a href="http://www.eclipse.org/birt" target="_blank">http://www.eclipse.org/birt</a> there is also a community at
<a href="http://www.birt-exchange.com" target="_blank">http://www.birt-exchange.com</a> - it is a java based solution but comes bundled
with apache tomcat - you can also use a php-java bridge solution</span></font></p>

Hi all,<br>
<br>
I have a nonprofit client -- with limited budget -- that has a need to collect
a lot of data on their constituents around the country. <br>
<br>
Drupal is perfect for collecting this data, but here's the catch. They
need the ability to generate reports based on this data, such as graphic
representations, things Views doesn't do. <br>
<br>
I told them they'd be able to export a spreadsheet and then run reports, but
they want the ability to run reports and crunch numbers right form the site. <br>
<br>
Have any of you run into this or have any suggestions? I'm wondering if
there might be some third party options that I may be able to integrate.
Or perhaps some sort of software that I can install on the server that can read
right from the database (of course, I'd have to teach it CCK logic)<br>
<br>
Or if there's a non-drupal solution that anyone knows of, that would be helpful
too.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
Sam</span></font></p>
