RE: Business Objects with DB2 data

["Paul Nelson" <nelsonp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

People familiar with Crystal Reports will have no trouble using SEQUEL. The
user interface is almost identical.

I have clients who are successfully using SEQUEL with no involvement on my
part, while they are paying their business partner for stuff with BO and now
Cognos.

All you need to do is to have an IT person be the designated coach for the
users. Contact www.sequel-software.com for a FREE demo.

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.
