A particularly important use case for us is proposal design with BIRT. Especially in the B2C business, an appealing, informative, and technically sound proposal is crucial. Our customers expect more than just pricing information; they also want a clear presentation of the planned system, its economic viability, and the relevant technical specifications. We use BIRT as a report designer with direct integration into BCS. BIRT enables the creation of customized reports and layouts based on the data maintained in BCS. For us, this means proposals are not created separately from the project data, but directly from the structured data set. Customer data, technical system information, consumption data, and other parameters flow into the report.
