The ultimate reporting solution should do a variety of things but most of all it should enhance your business model and help you to make important decisions concerning the success of your business.  We’ve broken it down into five categories for which services your reporting software should provide including; customization, access, presentation, versatility, and ease of use. In evaluating these five categories, hopefully it will help you make a better decision as to whether your current software is getting the job done.

1. Customization

Having the freedom to customize your reporting system is vital to the success of your company.  Making sure you can build customized templates for reporting will guarantee that you get the most accurate details and information that you are searching for. Making sure there is an option to compare multiple data sets in the same report with making analyzing the data all the easier. Also, making sure that you can set up your own parameters to build reporting systems as well as attach labels is vital to keeping your reports organized and easy to reference should you need to revisit them.

2. Access

The next thing that you must make sure is that your ATS software has is access to share.  Making your reports shareable with the right people is essential, and as a result they can improve job performance and make meaningful improvements within their team or department.  Making sure that managers and the leaders within your company have access and can run their own reports will also make for more well rounded reporting.

3. Presentation

Next is presentation.  Making sure that your reports are presentable, easy to follow and depict information in a pleasing, visual way will make them more enjoyable to read.  Data reports can be long, monotonous, and oftentimes boring, but if you have the option to make them more pleasing to the eye, data can actually be fun!  Also making sure that there’s an option to add a visual element will help make your report creating process more enjoyable and easy to follow.
