complex. Symphony’s services are based on a rich heritage of success in analytics,
represented in the experience of our teams and the IP we bring to our engagements.
Software companies, web-centric businesses and infomediaries derive the following

time, to cross correlating your web traffic and operational data to gain new insights,
we have the skills and bandwidth to help you overcome any data obstacles. We can
also help architect your data infrastructure to meet your operational and business
objectives.

to market quickly and driving tremendous value. We understand the subtle differences
between design and development of transaction applications and analytic solutions.
The former are driven by exacting specifications; the later by need for rapid gaining
insights. These solutions are fluid by nature and require delivery models that blend
the best of onsite collaboration and global cost management. Their QA processes
are driven by end user effectiveness, blended carefully with traditional underlying
QA processes.

Report Factory
When Symphony builds software, we develop intimate knowledge of your data structures,
release processes and QA requirements. Leveraging that knowledge by having us build
the reports that your applications produce and manage can make a lot of sense -
economically and from a service standpoint. We ensure that your report library is
up to date, that it works across releases and can also build specific reports for
your end users allowing you to clear what might be a backlog of requests. If you
have your own technology or have selected an external package, we can support your
choices. If you need technology, the Symphony Platform is available for you. Even
if we're not yet building applications for you, the Report Factory is a great place
to start becoming familiar with our award winning services.
- Native Reports are built within the core application
- Packaged Reports leverage external technologies (Symphony, Business Objects, etc.)
- For either type, we can
- Maintain report libraries across releases
- Extend and enhance report libraries
- Design and develop reporting strategies and report libraries
- Build and Maintain end user specific reports for our clients or their customers
- Implement and / or develop charting and grid packages
