Creating and Displaying Reports

Abstract

Reports are perhaps the most important part of any IT system. Reports are often seen by decision makers or by those in a position of seniority who carry influence within an organization. Being responsible for good reports can therefore be politically good for any IT professional wanting to progress in their career. At a lower level, reports are used to create items that are seen by other stakeholders. Examples could include packing notes, remittance advice, and invoices. These pieces of output provide a public face to a company and are important in terms of creating the right impression.
