“As I high level overview, we will review (short pause) the Report Designer solution. We will view (short pause) sample templates and how to generate the output from those samples. We will also explain and even create (short pause) a template using PODs. PODs is one of our clients favorite features that allows you to quickly create and update new templates. And we’ll also answer any questions you may have along the way. I will also stop periodically to see if you have any questions to make sure we’re all on the same page.”

“Our solution is made up of two main components, and the first one is Report Designer. Report Designer is simply a Microsoft Office plug-in. It allows your users to create Word, Excel and PowerPoint files for your document templates. The beautiful thing about this is that everyone already knows how to use Microsoft Office applications so just about anyone can design and even test your document templates before you’re ready to go live in production. (click for next gizmo image in slide)
And that’s where our second piece comes in, which is what we call the Report Engine.
Now the Engine is basically a set of code libraries that your Development team references in your “(name of client application).” And when you’re ready to generate the output from the document templates you created in Microsoft Office (click for next gizmo image in slide), you can do that with pretty much any format, whether that’s DOCX, Excel spreadsheets, PDF or even directly to the printer, if that’s a requirement.
Are there any questions about that?”
