Oracle BI Publisher (formerly known as XML Publisher) offers efficient; scalable reporting solution available for complex, distributed environments. It provides a central architecture for generating and delivering information to employees, customers, and business partners - both securely and in the right format. Oracle BI Publisher report formats can be designed using Microsoft Word or Adobe Acrobat - tools most users are already familiar with. Oracle BI Publisher also allows you to bring data in from multiple data sources into a single output document. Reports can be delivered through printer, e-mail, fax, WebDav, or publish your report to a portal. Oracle BI Publisher can be used as a standalone reporting product or integrated with the Oracle Business Intelligence Suite Enterprise Edition Plus.
When used as part of the suite, Oracle BI Publisher leverages common dashboarding, metadata, security, calculation, caching, and intelligent request generation services. For more information, see theOracle Business Intelligence Publisher User's Guide.
