A portal for reports

Symtrax has released Symtrax Portal, which on the back end is a repository for reports and other output originating on various platforms; on the front end, it provides a personalized Web interface for users to reporting data.

The company explains its portal has been specifically created to provide a repository for reports and reporting. It captures and indexes output from ERP, database and a variety of other legacy and midrange systems. This report data is then made available to users or groups of users, depending on their profile and level of access. For direct host connectivity, special plug-ins are available in order to capture report output directly at the source.

Symtrax Portal runs on a Windows 2000 server and monitors local and remote folders accessible to the server, says Symtrax. Once output arrives in these folders, it is indexed and made available to specific user groups or profiles. Input may arrive from ERP, database, legacy and other systems. It may be in a variety of different formats, such as Adobe PDF, ASCII, all Microsoft Office formats, HTML and more.
