Data Dynamics Reports

Data Dynamics Reports is a new reporting engine for .NET developers that adds significant enhancements to standard RDL-based reports!

Master Reports: Allow report authors to create living templates that automatically update when the master report is updated.
Data Visualizers: Make it easier for those consuming the report to get the general idea of what the data is doing without comparing every single line.
Advanced Printing: N-up printing outputs N pages per physical page. Booklet mode organizes the pages in an order suitable for making a folded booklet.

PROJECT MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE

Software development projects are generally too complex and too important to manage with pencils and sticky notes. That's why good project management software can be the difference between shipping your software on time and infinitely floating ship dates.

When you manage a software development project with Axosoft OnTime 2008, your team can focus on coding and QA, rather than the process.

Join over 6,000 development teams world-wide and start shipping software on time.
