Enterprise Reporting Database (ERD) presents timetable related data in a format that is easy to report against
(SQL Server and Oracle versions are available) so that you can use your preferred reporting tools to create your own reports,
leveraging your in-house expertise.
Data is autonomously updated.
Snapshots can be reserved for future use.
Housekeeping is automated.
The ERD is updated on a timed basis by the Reporting Database Generator. You don't need to think about updating the reporting
view when changes are made to the timetable; that happens automatically so that reports are always against the latest data.
When a user wishes to do a series of reports against the data as held at a particular time, the snapshot is reserved so that all
the reports will be against an internally consistent set of data.
Housekeeping functions maintain an up-to-date view and remove redundant snapshots automatically so that manual maintenance of the
ERD is kept to a minimum.
