What is Enterprise Reporting?

With the dramatic expansion of information technology, and the desire for increased competitiveness in corporations, there has been an increase in the use of computing power to produce unified reports which join different views of the enterprise in one place.

One example would be to query the Human Resources databases and the Capital Improvements databases to show how efficiently space is being used across an entire corporation.
