Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We, as a team together, created a product which automates the billing and licensing for a giant automobile conglomerate. So in that product at the end of every month we need to generate reports and bills in stipulated format. So we tried TIBCO Jaspersoft for this purpose. As we needed a tool which can connect with different databases and on the basis of schedulers different reports and bills can be generated in different formats. So we had a request from a client to get reports generated in PDF, Word and Excel formats. And we found all this can be easily processed using TIBCO Jaspersoft. It's just plug and play model irrespective of the technology our product is based on, quite flexible in that term. Just we need to create template and store it as standard and bingo!!!! Things are done ready to served.
