"Real-time reports are critical components of an effective ERP system and we found Quadbase's EspressReport solution to be one of the easiest to integrate with Sybase ASE," said K.R. Prasad, President of PowerEasy Corporation.  "We needed a server-based, all-Java application to generate and deliver sophisticated reporting from an Xserve server to members of the extended enterprise worldwide, and Quadbase came out way ahead of the competition."

"Sybase partners with companies like Quadbase to provide solutions that are built using Sybase's enterprise-class infrastructure software and provide a compelling business value to customers," said Herman Li, vice president of engineering, Sybase Enterprise Solutions Division.  "By leveraging Sybase ASE as a repository for mission-critical enterprise information, Quadbase provides our customers with charting and reporting capabilities - transforming data into critical business insight."

"Robust integration with leading relational database management systems (RDBMS) like Sybase ASE and leading application servers like Apple's WebObjects allows our customers to leverage existing infrastructure technology investments," said Fred Luk, president of Quadbase.  "Our integration capabilities also give customers greater flexibility in adapting real-time data reporting to span their entire organization and integrate with critical silos of information and applications for much better business performance."
