Reporting integration projects are most easily handled with direct access to the database. If a standard database SQL or other interface is available, the data can be accessed directly for report processing. Often, however, the financial software might keep the data in a proprietary format to prevent direct access. In this case, it is necessary to either use an API provided by the software company, or create an automated export interface using advanced automation. Using automation technology, even the most challenging data sources can be accessed and used for analysis.

In the case of large data sets, it is often necessary to use a separate database for the data mining operations. This database may either previously organize the data in a format for simpler processing, or it may load just the pertinent information to reduce strain on the primary database during report generation. It is often desirable to run the data mining database on a separate server, in order to reduce load on the primary database. In addition, synchronization jobs can run during off-peak hours to ensure good database performance. Of course, depending on the nature of the data and reporting required, other techniques may need to be used to synchronize if real-time data is necessary.

With the advances in reporting technology, financial reports can be generated for print, desktop, mobile, or spreadsheet export. Drill-down reports can be developed for further insight, and even custom 2D or 3D visualizations can be created to analyze the data in a more intuitive format.
