    I am just curious to find out if anybody is using other BI tools that are non lawson supplied especially the analytics suite and whether you were sucessful in deploying thes BI enabled graphs, grids etc to LBI.

    I am particluarly interested in finding out more about microstrategy and silver light. Would love to hear about your experiences with these tools not for only reporting but for analytics.

    Thanks in advance.

      Ruma,

      Ive integrated the Cognos stack, TM1 Exec Viewer (which is now Cognos but wasnt at the time I worked with it), QlikView, Googles Charting and Graphing Toolkit (development environment only) and Microsoft Analysis Services with Microsoft Reporting Services.

      Im not sure what you mean by "silver light" but Silverlight in the context of Microsoft is a development platform for rich media content on the web. Its based on Microsofts .Net Framework and can be most easily compared to Adobe's Flash, although its not 1-to-1. There are quite a few offerings for Analytic front end tools based on Silverlight but if all you are looking at is the presentation layer you arent really limited by Lawson integration.

      With the acquisition of Lawson by Infor, Microsofts Business Intelligence stack would be worth a look as that is the platform that Infors BI suite (and entire technology platform) is based on.
