RE: SYS21 - Sys21 - General Ledger Reporting system

There are also other Business Intelligence tools on the market.  We have
found one in particular to be very successful in working with many
systems.  I will not go into it on this mailing list, as it is not the
appropriate forum, but please look into all options.

The problem with 3rd party products is that there is no business
intelligence.  This means you have to have a good understanding of the
files and their relationships or get someone to build it in for you.
Active Reporter, IQ Object & Corvu from GEAC have it supplied.

Win200 didnt like my laptop.  There were no sound drivers or modem
drivers available.  3 steps forward 2 steps back.

GEAC Readers... Do I get any commission?  Am I infringing on the rules
of the group?  Is my humour getting bad?


Regards

Michael
