Jinfonet, a leader in Java-based embedding reporting, and Unify Corp., a leading provider of business process automation solutions including specialty risk management applications, have announced that Unify has embedded JReport into Unify NXJ 11. Unify NXJ 11 is an award-winning integrated application platform that Unify made generally available in November 2005.

The NXJ product line was developed to meet customer demand for an application platform that integrates people, processes and information with all aspects of the business. It enables customers to automate processes within and between organizations and enterprises, consolidate multiple legacy systems into unified composite applications and provide advanced collaborative information systems for distributed teams and workforces.

With the addition of the leading Java-based reporting tool, Unify delivers visibility into the critical information its customers need to further improve their businesses. As customers use NXJ 11 to map, model and build business processes, JReport will serve as the dashboard that shows where processes are bottlenecked or stopping due to technical or human errors. This insight will allow customers to quickly identify and fix issues slowing down business processes and overall operations.

JReport allows NXJ users to easily and dynamically modify report views via the Web. Using JReport's intuitive reporting tools, data can be sorted, filtered, grouped, navigated, searched and analyzed.

"JReport was the only 100 percent Java reporting solution able to deliver useful business information without the complexities of integration, management and usage inherent in traditional analytical reporting solutions," said Dave Glende, CTO of Unify. "We wanted users to get maximum value when deploying NXJ 11, and providing visual dashboards helps clients better understand what their business processes are and how well they're functioning. JReport's powerful, easy to use reporting capabilities, combined with our new platform, provide end users with a tremendous business process automation offering."

Unify required a flexible and open report deployment and delivery system that was easily integrated into and branded with its own offering. JReport's small program footprint and ease of embedding separated it from other reporting solutions and led to its selection by Unify.

"Information is the currency of business process automation," said John Gularson, Jinfonet's executive vice president of operations. "JReport delivers important information in an extremely useful and easy-to-manage format so users at all levels can tune operations and make better business decisions. Embedding JReport in Unify's NXJ platform means customers now have a powerful business tool for obtaining visibility into their business functions."
