Performance of any application is the most ignored ingredient of any application implementations be it ERP, Reporting, Transaction systems. However reports being the highest visibility item owing to fact that audiences are the top brasses in organization chart, is quickly diagnosed and subsequently punished. Hence a correctly built report is half built report until it runs fast.
We recently came across a such implementation where a revenue report (name suggests the criticality) was running in hours, though perfectly designed, still miles to go before the result appears. Evidently it was a big pain point from report authors to report consumers and we got to put thinking caps on!
