Current and Past Client Comments of RptView (Report Viewer)
"I wanted to share with you what we are doing with Report Viewer and how it has increased productivity.
We run reports on the mainframe for all of the food service managers on a weekly and monthly cycle.
These reports had been printed and then a user would pick them up and take them to his office where
he would burst them into 160 different schools and would then put them in our mail system. This process
would take about three days before the food service managers would get their reports. Now they can access
the reports within minutes of being run on the mainframe. This process has saved time and money and has
made the end user very happy that they do not have to wait so long to get their report. This is probably
going to move into the Data processors as well.
The user accesses files on servers and on their local workstation. When they open certain files
it automatically opens the viewer so a step has been taken out to make it even easier to use. I have also
changed the default print size and font in the INI. This also takes one more step out for the user."
School District of Palm Beach County, Florida USA
"We distribute 17 departmental copies of a 6,000+ page report on
a quarterly basis. RptView will let us update this report more
frequently and distribute it to a much wider audience.
RptView is easy to use and fast!" Renaissance Energy Ltd., Calgary, Alberta Canada
"We use RptView to reduce our postal expense and provide reports
to our field representatives in a timely fashion. We have a
product to transfer the information to the field, but nothing
to view the reports. That's where your viewer steps in. Most
other viewers required a little technical know-how, but yours
does not. We look for software that is user friendly and
self-teaching." Olan Mills Inc., Chattanooga, TN, USA
"We will be using Report View primarily in our accounting department
for viewing the general ledger, accounts payables reports,
job cost reports, and financial analysis and forcasting reports.
It will save our company money because these reports tend to get
bulky and many times have to be rerun do to printer jams or data
changes. What got me interested in viewing reports electronically
was a demo sent to us about a similiar commerical product. I
liked this concept and thought that something similar would be
available on the Internet. And sure enough, there were several.
Your Report View product is by far the best on the net and I've
looked at all of them that are available!" JAYCOR, San Diego CA USA
"ReportView has had a significant impact on our organization.
What it does, it does well. I’ve developed a very solid easy-to-use
infrastructure around ReportView combining our Unix/AIX and NT systems."
Associated Grocers of the South, Birmingham Alabama USA
"Simple access to reports from varied platforms.
Installs simply and easily in to the business process, allowing users
to access reports from various platforms and systems through one simple
graphical interface. Users quickly gain proficiency with a familiar
'Windows' point-and-click GUI and appreciate the ability to manipulate
the report view (zoom, search, fix headings, etc.) The ability to correctly
handle, Unix, Mainframe and DOS paging allows reports from these platforms
to be viewed without changing the source applications, greatly simplifying
support and migration." CNET User Review - BJ.
"Excellent Program! Works as advertised. Simple interface, once installed never have to revisit.
We use it for Unix reports generated from our business software and it works flawlessly."
CNET User Review - PeterF.
