Oracle BI Publisher is a high fidelity solution for producing and distributing rich formatted reports, financial statements, government forms, marketing materials, contracts, and more. It can also be used produce checks, labels, and XML/EFT/EDI formatted documents and route them to multiple destinations simultaneously.

Oracle BI Publisher reduces the high costs associated with the development, customization and maintenance of business documents; while increasing the efficiency of reports management. Utilizing a set of familiar desktop tools users can create and maintain their own report formats based on data extracts from diverse sources.

BI Publisher can accept and format any well-formed XML data, as well as generate the data. It can therefore be integrated with any database, application, or process that can generate XML, whether that be a database, an ERP application, or a Web service to format output and deliver to consumers. BI Publisher also allows you to bring data in from multiple data sources into a single output document.
