LogiXML Introduces Data Mart for Reporting

Taking the same approach to reporting that organizations use for data management, LogiXML introduced LGX Mart, a data mart that works with the company’s ad hoc reporting tools.
LGX Mart, released on Sept. 30, sits between an operational database and a reporting engine, and extracts data from different sources to serve into reports, according to Arman Esraghi, the company’s founder and CEO. “The ideal is to run reports against the operational database, but that doesn’t scale,” he said.
Historically, organizations create data warehouses and marts to optimize data for reporting and analysis, but this has meant high costs for software licensing and IT staff to set this up, Esraghi explained. “Our solution is an easy mart that isolates the database from security and loading issues.”
LogiXML’s main focus is Web-based interactive reporting and business intelligence, according to Esraghi, with products that address managed, ad hoc and OLAP reporting. “When we say report, we see Web page,” he said. “Others try to model a sheet of paper. AJAX is a miracle for us, but for some competitors it’s a headache. They are rigid with paper formatting.”
Esraghi noted LogiXML’s reporting tools support PDF and Excel-based reporting. “Not all reports lend themselves to the Web,” he said.
With Web-based AJAX reporting, users don’t have to retrieve data for 10,000 items when they only want to look at one or two items, he said. “People don’t want their reports precompiled,” Esraghi said. Reports are based on users’ needs, he added.
THREE UPDATES
Also last month, LogiXML released new versions of its three managed reporting tools—LGX Report, Report Plus and Info.
Esraghi described managed reporting tools as those used by developers to create reports for an end user.
New to the products are Gantt charts, and for LGX Info only, animated Flash charts. The Flash charts, combined with the recent AJAX enhancements, make for dynamic reports, Esraghi noted. The Gantt charts give users a history of tasks or activities based on a preset time frame.
