A strong demand has been created by the information age for a modern reporting system to replace older, inflexible and expensive systems. Companies with large amounts of data need a modern reporting solution that can produce useful information while at the same time be easy to use, does not require a programmer’s skill level and runs economically. What does such a system look like and how was it created?

On May 19, the West Sound Technology Professionals Association (WSTPA) will feature Keith Conrad showcasing Camelot Reporting and other tools. Nancy Stump will follow up with a discussion regarding the dynamics of working for an upstart and young software company.

The meeting will take place from 6 to 8 pm at the Poulsbo Branch of the Kitsap Regional Library, 700 NE Lincoln St., in Poulsbo. The event is free to WSTPA members and $5 for non-members
