REDWOOD CITY, Calif. � July 20, 1998 � ReportMill Software, Inc. today announced ReportMill 2.0, the latest release of its industry-leading object-based reporting system. ReportMill 2.0 adds the ability to generate HTML reports, allows users to import a PDF file for use as the backdrop of a form, and offers an improved editing interface for all aspects of report generation.
"We believe the real revolution of Web publishing will be realized with ground breaking layout applications like ReportMill rather than traditional HTML editors -- just as the desktop publishing revolution started with the page layout application rather than the word processor. From dynamic catalog generation at the Sharper Image to professionally crafted invoicing at the award winning Apple Company Store to the creation of financial statements and reports at Fannie Mae, people will come to expect the professional looking, high quality internet content that only ReportMill 2.0 can deliver," said Jeff Martin, CEO of ReportMill Software.
The ReportMill object reporting software, which offers dynamic PDF via a full-featured page layout application and object framework, lets enterprise customers create reports leveraging the business logic in their existing custom objects. The product is the leading object-based reporting system for Apple Computer's WebObjects and Rhapsody and is used by developers worldwide to create dynamic, WYSIWYG solutions for electronic commerce, enterprise computing, and business systems.
"Apple is thrilled with the new capabilities that ReportMill 2.0 offers to WebObjects customers. ReportMill generates formatted, printable reports for our customers using the same powerful object architecture that drives the market-leading WebObjects application server. As many of our customers already know, the combination of WebObjects and ReportMill delivers functionality found nowhere else," said Jim Demetros, Director of Apple Enterprise Software.
"At Bell Atlantic we used ReportMill to create dynamic reports in their intranet applications. It was crucial that their reports be printable. ReportMill allowed us to easily satisfy that requirement while saving us both time and money. Ease-of-use, a robust feature set, and outstanding support make ReportMill one of the most effective development tools on the market. It's a must-have for every WebObjects developer," said Linda Levine, Ibix Corp.
