Hyperion SQR Production Reporting (OBIEE) Overview

Apr 7 2009 Posted by Nick Yezza | In: Product Overview · Hyperion SQR Production Reporting

Overview

The SQR Production Reporting module generates high volume, presentation-quality formatted reports with unparalleled performance—even when the data is taken from disparate sources. This reporting application delivers business context for key metrics by consolidating information from core business applications throughout the enterprise.

Product History

Since the mid-1980s, SQR Reporting has been part of numerous reporting suites with companies such as Sybase, MITI and Brio Software. Prior to the Hyperion acquisition of Brio in 2003, the product was distributed under the name Brio Reports. The product then became part of the Hyperion Performance Suite as Hyperion SQR, pre-System 9. Hyperion SQR included SQR Activator, SQR Server, SQR Viewer, SQR Developer and SQR iServer. As part of System 9, these modules were integrated and packaged as Hyperion Production Reporting. With release 9.3, the product was changed to its current name, Hyperion SQR Production Reporting. The product is currently part of Oracle’s BI Enterprise Edition Plus (OBIEE+) suite.
