Report Writers
Applications and products that store data provide some standard reporting to show you what's in the database. Sometimes, though, that's not enough.
You need a way to report what happened in a particular time frame that can't be extracted using the standard reporting tools. You may have a particular metric that is not calculated by the standard reports, causing you to calculate it by hand, based on input from your standard reports. You may need a graph or chart, rather than the tabular display available to you.
If you provide a product, you may need to build standard or custom reports to package with it.
LTS has experience applying report writers to databases and can build reports for you.
