Re: Business Objects with DB2 data

[Hoteltravelfundotcom <hoteltravelfun@xxxxxxxxx>]

OK My only question is, then the consensus is that, All the Business
Objects out there, are not really being utilized as stated, that
no users are creating any reports, or a very tiny minority?SO then in what
way would we be better off getting the SEQUEL or NGS product?

It seems then that it is a matter of, which person in IT would be doing the
report writing, and how proficient they are. Meaning that, the person w
ould have to have an ISeries background, as opposed to someone with only
SQL Server background (who would be more able to work in Bus. Objects).

Of course, costs are going to be less with anything other than BO,. But
they already are paying for the Crystal Reports.
