PBRS brings automated report production and distribution to organizations using Microsoft Power BI and SSRS. Developed by ChristianSteven Software, it runs in your Windows environment and coordinates reporting tasks that would otherwise involve manual exports or multiple automation flows. Build workflows for Power BI Service, Power BI Report Server, Power BI Paginated Reports and Microsoft SSRS. Launch them at regular intervals, on custom calendars, after a dataset refresh completes, or in response to supported database, file, email and system events. For personalized (Dynamic) reporting, PBRS reads SQL or JSON instructions to apply each recipient's filters, parameters, output format and delivery details. Report bursting allows a shared report to become separate outputs for customers, branches, departments or individual users. Produce PDF documents, Excel workbooks and CSV files where supported. Use Excel templates and formatting, merge suitable exports into workbook tabs, or collect several reports into a single email, ZIP archive or bookmarked PDF. Passwords and encryption help protect PDF documents. Route finished files to email addresses, Teams, SharePoint, OneDrive, Google Drive, Dropbox, FTP or SFTP servers, network folders, Slack and printers. Deliver exported documents to external audiences without requiring them to access Power BI. Execution records, notifications, retry settings and blank-report handling support unattended operation. A REST API lets developers connect supported scheduling and execution functions to their own applications. PBRS suits reporting operations that need consistent output, recipient-specific content and coordinated delivery across multiple reporting sources.

JDisc Discovery is a powerful IT asset management and network discovery tool, designed to provide organizations with clear, real-time insights into their entire IT environment. By automatically scanning the network, it identifies and catalogs devices, from physical servers and workstations to virtual machines and network appliances, giving users a detailed inventory of their assets. The tool captures essential data such as hardware specifications, installed software, system configurations, and interdependencies among devices. A key advantage of JDisc Discovery is its agentless architecture. Rather than requiring installation on each device, it uses multiple protocols (like SNMP, SSH, WMI) to gather information, ensuring quick deployment and compatibility across various operating systems, including Windows, Linux, and Unix. This makes it ideal for diverse and dynamic IT ecosystems, enabling efficient and non-intrusive data collection.

Typical use cases include automated report generation, batch processing of large document sets, and compliant document delivery in regulated industries. Key capabilities include encryption, password protection, digital signatures, watermarking, MSI-based deployment, Group Policy support, and centralized profile management. It works with Word, Excel, browsers, ERP platforms, and essentially any Windows application that can print. PDFCreator is available as a free edition for individual, non‑commercial use, alongside three paid editions tailored to business, terminal server, and broader enterprise deployments.

AnalyticsCreator is a metadata-driven design application for data warehouse automation and data product engineering across the Microsoft data stack. Its Governed Control Model connects business meaning, data structures, transformation rules, dependencies, lineage and technical implementation in one controlled project model. Data teams design the required architecture in AnalyticsCreator, then generate native Microsoft assets from that design. Generated outputs can include SQL Server objects, SSIS packages, Azure Data Factory pipelines, supported Microsoft Fabric components, deployment artefacts and Power BI semantic models. AnalyticsCreator supports dimensional, 3NF and hybrid modelling approaches together with ingestion, transformations, delta loading, historisation, Slowly Changing Dimensions, snapshots and repeatable data-processing patterns. Because generated outputs are native Microsoft technology, no AnalyticsCreator runtime is required in production. Organisations retain ownership of the resulting implementation and can integrate generated assets into Git, Azure DevOps and CI/CD workflows. Lineage, documentation and dependency information remain connected to the design, helping teams understand change impact before regenerating affected assets. Design Intelligence extends this governed project context into AI-assisted data engineering by providing authorised AI tools and agents with structured access to metadata, lineage, dependencies and design rules. Typical use cases include enterprise data warehouse development, Microsoft Fabric adoption, SQL Server and SSIS modernisation, governed Power BI delivery and repeatable data product engineering.
