The Windward .NET Reporting Engine is comprised of a set of code libraries for integrating reporting and document generation into both internal and commercial software applications. The vendor’s value proposition is that the solution is easy to embed, and users can connect it to virtually any data source. The vendor further states that in order to get started, all a development team has to do is incorporate the solution into their company system or product.
Users can:
- Generate pages per second, not seconds per page
- Use any and all of their data sources, even simultaneously on the same template
- Work with an extremely small footprint
- Output to a wide range of formats including DOCX, RTF, PDF, HTML, XLSX, or even directly to a printer
