Business software has long been used to support various business processes. Until the early 1990’s this support was typically offered by software applications – many of which are today’s legacy applications- and many businesses still use them for key components of their processes such as shop floor process control, inventory management activities and transaction processing. These applications are reliable but do not always meet the new requirements for flexibility, agility, and transparency.

Business Process Management is the capability to discover, devise, deploy, execute, operate, optimise and analyse end to end processes and this must be done at the level of business design, not technical implementation.

The timely production and distribution of all business reports is integral to the efficiency of any business organisation and business process management calls for the use of automation tools that schedule, generate and send business reports, whenever and wherever required.

Christian Steven has offered an exceptional range of report automation tools for business organisations to ensure that the task of business reporting is simple and error free. MARS or the MS Access Report Scheduler is the function rich automation tool that schedules and delivers MS Access reports, macros and queries. The CRD makes it easy to automate and schedule Crystal Reports. To schedule your SSRS reports, you can use SQL-RD – a business intelligence application that lets you define SQL reporting services and run them automatically.
