PLATINUM ProReports is a breakthrough client/server report writer that allows multiple queries from heterogeneous databases across multiple platforms from a Windows interface. This allows innumerable ways to access, view, analyze, and present previously inaccessible data. For example, with a few clicks of a mouse, a user could combine manufacturing data from Oracle on an HP, purchasing information from DB2 on MVS, and forecasting information from Microsoft Access on a PC in a single report. ProServer, the companion product of ProReports allows reports to be created on a client and run on a server, while retainingidentical formatting attributes. Therefore, documents can be created on a PC using ProReports for Windows and scheduled to run on any server overnight, minimizing network traffic and optimizing resources.

PLATINUM SQLASSIST is an enterprise wide decision support tool with data access, querying, reporting and conversion facilities. It is fast, powerful, and sophisticated, yet still usable by end users. SQLASSIST provides novice users with the ease of a graphical Windows interface and shields them from having to know the SQL language. Yet, an interactive SQL mode is also available for power users, as SQLASSIST reads and writes SQL code. SQLASSIST was judged the best ad hoc query tool in a recent Information Week article, “SQLASSIST for Windows is a superior product.. .. a highly polished, well planned product. The great number of advanced features made it a winner for novice and power users.”
