CrossCompass ®
Ad Hoc Reporting Tools & Embedded Query Components

Client Case Study

ePrint Direct

ePrint decided to install CrossCompass adhoc query tools to allow them to easily access the wealth of information on their customer database and related issues within the helpdesk system beyond the inherent helpdesk reporting mechanism. 

CrossCompass enabled ePrint to not only run adhoc database queries but also allowed the in-house developed bespoke reports to be executed from within the CrossCompass system to formats such as pre-defined Excel files and drill-down reports.

As ePrints time and familiarity with CrossCompass grew, they started to use the ETL (Extract, Transform & Load) suite built into CrossCompass. This part of the system allowed them to correct any data problems with the SQL-Server based helpdesk system.

Beyond this, ePrint started to use CrossCompass to modify the data within databases used by their own printing systems for testing purposes.

CrossCompass in this case easily integrated with ePrint's helpdesk utilising a SQL-Server 2000 database and their own Access based databases used to control and monitor all users within a corporate printing environment and their associated requirements.
