Panscopic announced that it has integrated the Panscopic Scope Server reporting solution with Software AG’s Tamino XML Server. The combination provides self-serve access to XML content and allows users to combine XML data with non-XML data. The combined solution leverages existing J2EE and application server infrastructures, is faster than custom coding alternatives and is a cost-effective means to visualize XML content. With self-serve reporting access to enterprise content via native XML, presentation and reporting are enabled, with no delay between content storage and user accessibility. Authorized users have secure access to current business data when they need it. The new solution gives customers: the ability to report off of information stored inside Tamino XML Server without “shredding” the XML data, i.e., without destroying its descriptive structure; the power to combine, filter, and aggregate information from multiple documents stored in Tamino XML Server with XQuery; and support for interactive reporting on Tamino XML data using XQuery. www.softwareagusa.com, www.panscopic.com
