I have clients who got roped into BO by their business partner, who made a
bundle selling BO services to their customers. The effort involved is
extremely complex.

When BO was purchased by Oracle, the business partner was given a year by
Oracle to find another package to hustle. They went with Cognos in order to
keep their services revenue.

Every one of these clients uses SEQUEL for 99% of their reporting needs,
because SEQUEL gives them direct access to the data without having to play
with BO universes or Cognos metadata setups.

Subject: Business Objects with DB2 data

I am interested in hearing of any Iseries shops which use Business Objects.
We are interested
in that product to use for reports and allowing users to create their own
reports.
I am concerned in that that AS/400 ERP we have is rather old product,
basically
RPG from back in the 90's and data base is very bulky - any experiences
would be welcome.
