Case Study: Pacific States Marine Fisheries Commission achieves near-real-time fish migration analysis and streamlined reporting with InetSoft Style Report

The Pacific States Marine Fisheries Commission Selected InetSoft’s BI Tool to Analyze and Report on Massive Amounts of Data

The Pacific States Marine Fisheries Commission (PSMFC) manages the PTAGIS system to track salmon and steelhead using PIT tags, collecting massive volumes of migration data—automatically uploaded every three hours—across the Federal Columbia River Power System. The primary challenge was delivering easy, consistent access to timely reports and analyses for a dispersed user base working on many platforms (Windows, Mac, Solaris, Linux) without requiring local software installs.

PSMFC selected InetSoft’s Style Report Enterprise Edition, a 100% Java, zero‑client web BI tool that integrates with their Ingres database and offers a drag‑and‑drop ad‑hoc interface, rich visualizations, and export to Excel/PDF/CSV. The result: field and office users can run and share reports from any browser, monitor migration trends in near real‑time with drill‑down detail, save time through standardized yet customizable reporting, and more quickly detect tagging issues and fish health anomalies.
