Exago is a self-service Business Intelligence solution that is designed to provide a balance of operational and ad hoc reporting, dashboards, and interactive data visualization for non-technical business users. End users control the entirety of the reporting life cycle – from creation to delivery and consumption of reports and visualizations; development does not have to create reports, charts, graphs or dashboards for end users to consume or manipulate.
This completely 100% web-based system doesn’t require plug-ins or downloads for full functionality; Exago is downloaded and installed on host application servers behind host application firewalls. Exago has a single sign-on, and security can be set up by group or user at the database, data object, row, or column level. Existing security or business logic layers can be accessed through programmable data sources. Exago’s UI can be modified through fully exposed CSS, providing a seamless experience. Text strings can be translated into any language with graceful handling of variable-length labels, and users can directly access SQL Server, MySQL, Oracle, PostgreSQL, DB2 and Informix. It’s simple to pass data through Web Services or .NET assemblies, and access tables, views, or custom, dynamic SQL statements. The vendor recommends Exago to application software companies that need to address multi-client requirements, and are looking for a solution that combines dashboards, interactive data visualizations and operational reporting.
