Rocket Shuttle for Workstation

Overview

How Can You Find Meaningful Information in a Sea of Data?

The answers to critical questions and the paths to successful strategies lie within your burgeoning enterprise business data. Every facet of your business needs a piece of this information to make successful business decisions. How can you harness unprecedented amounts of data to deliver the right information on demand and in a comprehensible format?

Rapidly Build and Deploy Graphical Reports and Data Visualization Solutions

Discover a turnkey solution for rapidly creating and distributing meaningful business data across your enterprise. Rocket Shuttle is a comprehensive query, reporting, and data visualization platform for workstation and web-based environments.

With over 100 built-in analytical functions, you can derive maximum value from your data by swiftly building and distributing comprehensive business intelligence and data visualization solutions across your enterprise. Create tailor-made graphical reports and interactive dashboards from disparate aggregate data with a drag-and-drop visual designer. Share information within your organization and with key partners without risking security. Designed for complex environments, Rocket Shuttle runs on an array of platforms, supports most databases, and provides information in a wide variety of output formats.

Deploy on Desktops Or Web Browsers

Meet the needs of diverse workgroups by strategically deploying business intelligence through a rich desktop application and a web-based solution. Rocket Shuttle includes both an Eclipse-based rich desktop application and a thin-client web application, capable of running within any Java application server.

The Eclipse-based offering, Rocket Shuttle for Workstations, provides a powerful, intuitive, and highly productive rich desktop environment where queries, reports, and visual dashboards can be quickly authored, tested, and deployed.

The high-performance web application solution, Rocket Shuttle for WebSphere, extends key functionality to browser-based users across multiple platforms, providing access to all Rocket Shuttle business intelligence (BI) content, as well as the ability to create queries and reports and to perform ad-hoc, visual drag-and-drop data analysis.

Extend Content and Data Across and Beyond Your Organization

Rocket Shuttle for WebSphere includes a robust Service Oriented Architecture (SOA), providing infrastructure that allows you to easily share targeted business intelligence solutions (queries, reports, dashboards, etc.) with partners or clients over secure web connections.

Using Rocket Shuttle's SOA facilities and rich security infrastructure, organizations can distribute BI assets to both internal and external users via a standard internet connection. Available to users on both the web application and the desktop application, Rocket Shuttle's SOA capabilities provide user and group-specific access to your BI assets without requiring the user to know or have direct access to the underlying databases and data repositories that power the reports and dashboards. For the first time, you can readily share your BI solutions with workstation and web users both inside and outside of the firewall, all with zero client-side administration.

Promote Self-service Reporting

Empower users to find the answers they need - reducing the demands on your IT group. With Rocket Shuttle's drag-drop, zero-coding development model, non-technical resources re-use and refine existing 'stock' BI solutions or build their own solutions to meet their specific requirements. This built-in visual designer allows content authors to quickly develop interactive dashboards and graphical page-based reports for use by both workstation and web users.

Protect Your Enterprise Data

Disseminating key business data across your enterprise is vital for success - but it's equally crucial to keep it from falling into the wrong hands. Rocket Shuttle's robust application security model complements your existing database-level security infrastructure. Optionally connecting to your LDAP infrastructure or using the built-in security provider, Rocket Shuttle controls every aspect of an end-user's interaction with your valuable data.

Rocket Shuttle implements comprehensive resource limits that optionally control a wide range of runtime parameters on a per user or a per group basis. Limits include the number of rows or bytes can be returned from designated queries and the SQL verbs permitted at a given data source (e.g., allow 'select' but not 'update & delete'). The security system also optionally tracks usage activity by user and by resource, allowing you to audit activity by user or BI asset.

Customize Displays for Workgroups

With Rocket Shuttle, you can tailor the look and feel of available reports and visualizations and data on a per user or per group basis. For example, technical users may see a traditional database-centric view, whereas business users see a role-specific view of relevant reports and dashboards.
