In the latest entry, I point to BOBJ's own moves with Inxight into new areas that the structured BI tools are just not able to handle. BI is out of the genie's bottle--it's in the Universe, but it's on-line, on your hard drive, in a word doc, a spreadsheet, in XML formats--and there's no one place to go these days that people are going to use. Great conversation! Timo–
