This article describes Meridix Studio from a conceptual and technical view and describes how the system handles the target platforms (current and future target platforms ) and how it can be integrated into existing environments or and portals.

Meridix Studio overview

Meridix Studio is a report generator and by itself Meridix Studio does not have any native support for any specific type of reports or target platforms. Each supported platform is built up as a custom  custom module that is loaded into the Meridix Studio main application. Each of these modules can have any number of reports with different combinations of charts and columns defined.

...

Another feature is that the system allows a mixed set of modules in the same installation, this . This means that if a customer has multiple data sources that they want to create report for, perhaps a PBX and an external call center system, one single Meridix installation can collect data from both these sources and give the end users an integrated and consistent way of handling their reporting even though the source information comes from multiple platforms.

The system is also built around the principle that different users has different needs and knowledge and users are therefor divided into separate roles where a user with only basic reporting needs can use a simpler and stripped down version of the user interface and if needed later upgrade/change to the advanced mode where the full feature set of the system is available, this makes the system easy to get started with and users don`t do not have to be experts from day one to get good value from the reports.

...

Another important feature of the system is the buildbuilt-in (integrated) documentation, end . End users should always be able to interpret and understand the reports without needing to have an external documentation available. This is accomplished by integrating what we refer to as column/report descriptions into the report, reports and the information is always available directly in within the system (through tool-tips, pop-ups etc). This is also the case in when a report is exported out of the system to for example Excel since the need to understand importance of understanding the report values does not go away just because it the report leaves the Meridix Studio user interface. The main concept can be summarized by saying: A user should always know exactly what he or she is looking at and be able to understand and make the most of the information at hand.
