Local distribution house, Workgroup, has announced that it will distribute and support Entrinsik`s Informer Web Reporting Software in South Africa.
Workgroup is IBM`s sole distributor of Universe and Unidata (U2) databases in South Africa and is therefore in a good position to offer Informer, a reporting solution designed specifically for use with U2 systems.
Informer is a web based reporting tool that allows end users to intuitively and securely access data directly from IBM U2 databases and view the data in HTML, Excel, or PDF formats "Many of our customers have expressed the strong need to intuitively pull data out of their U2 databases," says Kurt Neumann, U2 business unit manager at Workgroup. "With Informer, our customers can securely access their data from anywhere using their browser.
"They can logically display the data in HTML format; drop it into Excel, PDF, or emails. Informer`s report scheduling feature is also very popular. We expect our Independent Software Providers (ISP`s) will embrace the Informer Community feature allowing them to easily distribute reports among their customer base."
The partnership extends Entrinsik`s sales and support arm to a continent it would have otherwise had difficulty reaching. "With Workgroup`s dominant market presence and professional support staff, we identified a well placed opportunity to reach organisations in need of Informer in South Africa", said Doug Leupen, President and CEO of Entrinsik.
