Hello All,
I'm wondering if any of you has heard if Infor is planning to move away from SAP Crystal to IBM Cognos?
thanks!

ive heard a lot of interesting "stories" none of which have been substantiated as of yet. prior to the Infor acquisition of Lawson, the LBI dev team was supposedly creating "plug-ins" for Reporting Services that would allow you to publish Crystal, Cognos or SSRS reports. Supposedly that was frozen by Infor. Some of the Infor products are already using Cognos (WFM and a portion of ION BI) and they have also created their own new reporting tool in AppStudio (another in a long line of failed proprietary tools, think Scorecard, Analytic Architect and the soon to be ax'ed InfoView). Honestly I dont see anyway for them to completely decouple from Crystal, first of all because its simply the most popular transactional based report development platform on the marked making potentials clients and resources for thier clients easier to come by and secondly they have over a decade of customers that have been implementing on that platform. Theres no way they will remove support. I imagine they will probably just start offering other options with the hope that one of them catches on.
