Windward Reporting Software Tool Review

The Windward Reporting Solution is a reporting and document generation software suite designed to make template design and document generation easier. Windward’s reporting products are used in a variety of document intensive industries like insurance, finance, Legal, and HR as well as by system integrators and within commercial software applications.

The Windward Reporting Solution consists of two components, the AutoTag template design tool, and the reporting and document generation engines.

AutoTag, the template design tool, adds in to Microsoft Word and Excel as a ribbon and gives the user the ability to link to virtually any data source. Users can then design and format the template in any way they want, without the restrictions of the banded interfaces most other reporting tools require. The Windward Reporting Engine then uses those templates to generate reports at whatever volume is required.

The Windward Engine is a set of code libraries for integrating reporting and document generation into both internal and commercial software applications. Users can incorporate one of the 3 reporting engines Windward has available(RESTful, .NET, or Java) into the company system. The engines can be either server or cloud-based.

 

Windward’s solution supports a variety of data sources including SQL based data (SQL Server, MySQL, all ODBC connections, PostgreSQL, DB2, etc.), web-based data (REST, JSON, Salesforce, OData, XML), file-based data (Microsoft Access, XML files, SharePoint Lists, Excel), and big data (MongoDB).

Conclusion
