+## What does this project offer comparing with the standard BIRT Standalone server?
+
+The BIRT Standalone Server or Runtime is great just for displaying the reports, but it's not usable in production environments. This project implements a RESTful web service layer, that way you can access your reports with a plain HTTP request and you'll get the report itself. It's the ideal way of [having a centralized report server](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/19051144/taking-advantage-of-birt-standalone-runtime). 
+
+Forget about including the BIRT runtime (~50MB with dependencies) in each of your deploys, just call the service with the proper parameters!
