Hi Dick:
I have a similar project on my plate. I like Business Objects. Actually, we do not
want users to have to know table/column names and need a product where we can build a
data
repository. I am not sure if we need a complete end-to-end solution as many BI
companies seem ready to provide. Other vendors on our short list are - Oracle
(Discoverer), Cognos,
Brio, Informatica (not sure if we need it) and Sagent (has a nice ETL product).

To ALL,
I've been given a project to find a way to make data easily available to end
users, preferably via a thin client (read that as browser based). We're looking
at Discoverer 3000 and 9iAS, but the boss wants to know what other options are
out there. The general idea would be to have a client/server based tool that we
could deploy to the power users (of which we have only a few). These
individuals are NOT programmers nor in the IS group, but they know the data. We
want them to create the queries/reports (with graphics included which the
Discoverer viewer does not do) and then publish them via the database. This is
a lot of what Discoverer does, but are there other tools out there that do the
same? Any recommendations???
