IMQS is an easy-to-use reporting and querying application. Reporting is done in the form alphanumeric reports, graphs and GIS type maps.
Reports in all three formats are on selection generated from the basic data and therefore reflect the current status in the data warehouse. All reporting is done in predefined format but allowance is made for customization by the user as well as additions and modifications by IMQS as requested by clients. These would often include standard type documents that need to be generated for reporting to a management or governmental body.
Due to the fact that IMQS is based on a modular concept, where reporting is done per infrastructure or asset type, the user can select to obtain reports or perform queries for a single asset type (e.g. water distribution or road system) only, or for multiple asset types simultaneously. The data hierarchy also allows for reporting at different levels of detail.
The total IMQS reporting functionality and data warehouse structure allows for comprehensive reporting on strategic, management and operational level.
