What are the advantages of online reporting?

It will help your organisation  reach a wider audience. Online reporting is sustainable and eco-friendly. It increases your online content and is extremely search engine friendly. It will reduce costs

Many organisations are publishing online by posting a downloadable PDF on their websites, how is this approach better than a downloadable PDF?

The reports have improved accessibility and usability (links for print friendly pages, ability to change font size, read on different platforms). It is easier to navigation and skip pages (internal home pages and navigation design allowing users to find information fast). Inclusion of animation/media. Users can bookmark and share individual sections of interest easily with colleagues. Content can switch between languages at the touch of a button. Useful search functionality

These factors make the entire experience of reading an online report much more accessible than a PDF.

How does online reporting reduce costs?

No printing, typically this element can be as much as 50% of your budget for publication. Once your first online report is setup additional reports can cost up to 80% less than traditional report design and print
