HORIZON Lab Systems Improves Reporting Performance 15 Times with Telerik Reporting

Overview
For over 30 years, HORIZON Lab Systems has been a leader in the laboratory information management space, serving public health, water/wastewater, and clinical diagnostics laboratories. HORIZON’s application allows labs to track and manage their results and ultimately report back to their customers.

Challenge
The associated reporting from samples is critical for HORIZON’s bottom line. As the end deliverable to customers, it often needed to be highly customized. Having the need for an enhanced and extensively configurable reporting tool, HORIZON sought a replacement of its existing report designer when the product was no longer able the meet the reporting needs of its clients. 

Solution
HORIZON chose Telerik Reporting. It was a natural fit, not only because HORIZON was already working with the Progress® Kendo UI® web controls, but also because the tool could be integrated with HORIZON’s existing reporting structure, eliminating the necessity to be beholden to a third-party reporting server. 

Result
HORIZON found that Telerik Reporting runs roughly 100 times faster than its old reporting tool. Additionally, load test showed it took just 1 second to run complex reports in Telerik Reporting vs 15 seconds in the tool their previously used.
