"Normally programs can take as long as 6 weeks during its review and approval of new release packages to the colleges, and the Informer product allows the easy flow in the approval process, especially with the incorporation of the Import and Export Packaging feature, which allows for a developer within one environment to share their reports to other developers in a different mapping of files and fields environment, saving time and the possibility of errors during conversion."
