Complex Logic Imbedded in Reporting/Query Tools• Queries in fundraising system don’t produce output in final format.Users spend (waste) a lot of time reformatting.• Query tool in fundraising system doesn’t have all of the calculated fieldsthat we’d like to be able to use.• Users request training on queries more than anything else. They willnever understand all of the complexities of the <strong>data</strong>base.• Traditional report development cycle takes a long time, and it’s neverquite what users want. As soon as they see the information they wantsomething slightly different.• When logic is imbedded in reports, and we change a business rule wehave to change many reports. Very time consuming.• Performance on complex reports can be very slow.• Traditional reports tend to be static and don’t provide the flexibility togain additional insights into the <strong>data</strong>.Brian Dowling, Blackbaud International Conference | Page #46
