I'm askin' all y'all to share your perspectives, experience, sales tips, etc., as my boss and colleagues now have "R:Base" in their vocabulary and want to begin comparative analysis of these products as a reporting tool (writing and generation, at desktop or via browser, i.e. RWEB ...). Words such as "department" and even "enterprise" have been used in some preliminary discussions. The organization is primarily Win XP & VISTA, some MAC's, with various backend DBMS's (ORACLE, SQL Server, Etc.) serving core university systems in areas such as registration, accounting & finance, student info, research proposal and grants administration, etc. The area in which I work and for which this tool will be targeted is research proposal and grants administration.
Let me also request samples of "pretty" reports that anyone is willing to share, perhaps via PDF or WWW. That word was used by my boss, so "pretty" counts ... Thanks, Steve in Memphis J.
