They utilize BIRT to provide secure, flexible and reliable information application solutions for FAA employees and contractors at the Mike Monroney Aeronautical Center in Oklahoma City. BIRT provides the FAA a structure to build front-end dashboards for a large number of operational, financial, and engineering applications. The BIRT dashboards and reports provide instant access to summarized information at a high level for managers. From that summarized level of reporting, all users can drill down into more detailed information necessary to perform their day-to-day job functions.

SMUD uses BIRT Scorecard to manage operational performance metrics, employee safety, sustainability, as well as financial measures across business units.
