A New Generation of Financial Information
Over the last ten years, organizations worldwide have implemented enterprise applications, amassing detailed production data about all facets of their operations. To maximize the return on the investments they have made in enterprise applications, those organizations must deliver their production information to employees, vendors and partners - in the exact form they need, when they need it.

Enterprise application vendors take the first step by providing standard reports that summarize data captured by their applications. These reports meet some basic customer needs, but can never meet all the information requirements of organizations because they:
. Access only their own application data
. Often contain more information than users need for specific situations
. Cannot be customized to meet the unique needs of individuals and the organization
. Are not complete with charts, graphics, and complex formatting
. Generate printed output that cannot be easily deployed via the Web
. Cannot create reusable information components that easily integrate into portals, dashboards, and Web sites Kautilya addresses these issues, eliminating the tremendous time users lose searching or waiting for the information they need, asking for it in new formats, and requesting information from new sources.

Kautilya Enterprise Reporting Applications can create and deliver Web pages, electronic and hardcopy reports, self-service portals, executive dashboards, and fully functional Excel spreadsheets
