Abstract: Embodiments are provided for delivering aggregated data from disparate systems (e.g. CRM, databases, etc.), making the data available to another system or end user with the functionality to read, create, update, and/or delete the source data. The disclosed subject matter provides a way to deliver bi-directional aggregated information from independent and potentially disparate systems as if the information came from a single system without the need for any interim data store. Additionally, the disclosed subject matter creates the instructions necessary for making the aggregated data available to other systems and end users in various modes of interaction (e.g. ADO.Net, SharePoint®, web services, etc.). Further, an end user awareness is employed that carries source-specific authorization checks before any data access or updates. The disclosed subject matter therefore can access aggregated data from multiple sources and propagate changes made back to the original source systems.

Abstract: Exemplary embodiments relate to methods, systems, and storage mediums for providing web-based reporting services to a telecommunications entity. The method includes providing a user interface to a client system in response to a request for a report which includes a report type. A requester is provided with a template and enters request data therein. Upon receiving the request data, a database is searched for a dataset corresponding to the request data. If the dataset is found, an order is retrieved from the database in accordance with a requested report type, budget data relating to the order is retrieved, a report using the order and the budget data is compiled, and the report is made available to the requester over a web-based network. The report includes a cost driver and/or a timeliness driver. Report types include cost reports, timeliness reports, telecommunication equipment order preparation reports, driver reports, and custom search reports.
