Hi,

Has anyone heard of, or implemented Databeacon? I was at a user group dinner, where the guest speaker spoke about this amazing product and how he was a hero with his boss.
The application sounds system independent, extremely easy to use and with a robust feature set. It's gotta beat Cognos, Crystal, and RYO Excel.

I do consulting, helping clients get a handle on data from multiple data sources, analysis, reporting, etc. This tool(?) sounds like it would make me a hero with my clients.

I checked out a local solutions provider, and have a meeting scheduled for next month, so we can learn more.

I just don't want meet with these guys and be unaware.

Thanks in advance!

Greg

Ok, this is strange, but I found a product. In fact, I was so impressed with the product, that I got talked into a job!

Simply, the product is a data analysis/publishing tool that has some amazing benefits, in that it cust development time/cost, requires no end user training or software, and runs on a simple web server. Compared to Cognos, the price is dirt cheap, yet it appears to have more flexibility. Installed and and running in half a day.

The solution is called Databeacon. I signed on with ReGenerating Solutions, in CT.

Here is my email and a demo site where you can try the product.

I would appreciate your feedback, as I just gave up a 17 year position to get involved with this product. I think it has real potential.

I apologize to all if this sounds like a commercial. I assure you it is not. Thanks!
