Are you the author of a new front-end BI tool?

I'm conducting a review of the market.

I know all the usual BI suspects and that's what I DO NOT want. I want
to know who has the best new tool which will dominate the category
because it is light, fast, simple and high in business value.

Some requirements-
-rich client interface (Windows forms) not web-site presentation
though html reports are ok
-be standalone or optionally use Excel
-be easy to use for customers
-display text, charts, graphics, etc
-drill down
-easily installed and performant on a typical business workstation
-emailable reports
-configurable and provide tools for field consultants to specialise
-ideally minimal SQL needed
-OEM on a large scale
-configurable to some degree by yourself to our requirements

Our databases include SQLServer/MSDE, SQLExpress2005, Dbase, Paradox
and all the usual pc-db suspects.

Send me info and please no big establish players.

Leroy,

Please check out Databeacon as a possible solution to your BI tool. It
sounds like almost a perfect fit. www.databeacon.com

Please let me know if you need more information.

Hi Leroy,

Have a look at Contour OLAPBrowser. This is a simple to use BI tool
for non-technical users.

Leroy:

Please check out www.busiq.com . We are different. Very different. We are
small, fast and flexible. We can also handle quite large data sets using
your desktop PC with NO SERVERS.

Hope to hear from you.

Thanks,

Matt Paulson
