San Francisco, CA. March 9, 1998 - ReportMill Software, Inc., today,
announced that the company will handle all of Fannie Mae's OpenStep and
WebObjects reporting needs through the year 2000. This represents a continuing
trend of success for ReportMill Software, Inc. in delivering enterprise
reporting solutions to companies in the financial services sector. Fannie
Mae (FNM/NYSE) is the nation's largest source of home mortgage funds.
ReportMill offers the ease of use to quickly design reports, the flexibility
to leverage custom business objects built in-house, the ability to deliver
over the web and on the desktop, and the power and portability to run on
enterprise servers.
"Fannie Mae has a large investment in custom business objects and
ReportMill allows us to run reports directly against those objects. We don't
have to duplicate business logic for reporting. It's object to object reporting."
says Tim Paris, Director of Object Technology at Fannie Mae. "We also
find that an effective way to leverage the power of our applications is
to expose information in as many user-friendly ways as possible. ReportMill
can quickly expose more genuinely useful information than traditional web
or desktop programming".
Jeff Martin, CEO of ReportMill Software, says, "We see ReportMill
as the first Object Reporting System - our customers are not limited to
reporting on database tables and are not forced to learn a proprietary macro
language. ReportMill's seamless integration with such database access and
web delivery systems as Apple's Enterprise Objects Framework and WebObjects
development tools allow our customers to add publishing quality reports
to their applications in a matter of hours."
ReportMill was founded by two former Next/Apple software engineers. Their
combined total of over 15 years experience with user interface design, object
development and publishing quality graphics on the platform that gave birth
to the web has been a driving force of innovation and quality for the company.
