ASG-Safari™ 4GL for Creating and Executing Complex Reports and Data Management Tasks

ASG-Safari 4GL is a powerful, user-friendly, report writing and data management solution. While end-user reporting tools address a significant number of daily requests for information, these tools can be overwhelmed at times by the complexity of today’s data environments. In such cases, ASG-Safari 4GL provides unequalled performance.

ASG-Safari 4GL's non-procedural, "English-like" syntax helps you and your fellow power users create reports quickly and easily, while still incorporating sophisticated conditional processing (if-then-else logic, multi-level conditional breaks, looping logic, etc.), complex calculations, and "on-the-fly" additions of supplemental data elements. You can incorporate a wide variety of user-defined report variables, as well as make calls to external 3GL functions for those exceptionally complex reporting requirements.

ASG-Safari 4GL also helps to streamline your data environment, such as when creating targeted data snapshots (data marts) for use with specific reporting or analytics projects. Not only will you reduce the overall amount of data transmitted across your network, thereby improving processing speed, but the amount of "data noise" to which your colleagues are exposed will also be reduced (e.g., unneeded fields, tables, joins). This ultimately ensures that the right information gets to the right people at the right time.
