The present invention provides network based reporting techniques designed
to meet the needs of subscription based marketers. Clients access, edit
report on, and analyze their subscriber database using the Internet, for
example. In a representative embodiment, a plurality of client computers
connect to the Internet using a local area network (LAN), for example.
The client computers pass security protocols before gaining access to
web, application and database servers. Once connected, the client
computers are able to retrieve and display information using a web
browser. Database contents are denormalized to provide the capability to
generate reports based upon relatively large amounts of information. In
addition, the data is transformed into a structure specifically to
facilitate and enhance multi-channel subscription marketing activities.
