Today’s IT departments demand greater Business Intelligence (BI) self-service for their user communities. Not having this capability is limiting an organization’s ability to push fact-based decision making to lower levels of the organization. Unlike other Business Intelligence (BI) tools, Birst provides enterprise reporting, ad hoc query and analysis in a single easy to use interface.
Birst Designer enables users to quickly perform ad hoc queries, create pivot tables via drag & drop and visualize data using advanced chart types, all enabled for drilling. Both IT-provisioned and user-created reports can be saved and shared for reuse across the organization and are easily turned into interactive dashboards with only a few clicks.

Birst Designer enables power users to perform advanced point and click analysis of the data. Every data element in the analytical data store, including modeling results, plus all logical measures can be made accessible for OLAP-style analysis and report generation.
Designer also includes a fully-featured report layout editor based on object-oriented design for advanced report creation. Full extensibility ensures that any conceivable report page can be designed.
Reports are compiled into Java byte code for fast and direct execution. No interpretation at runtime is required. Performance is enhanced by server-side processed report caching. Integrated cache-bursting technology ensures scalability and greater mobile functionality.
