Brio conference

[Ray Ontko <rayo@ONTKO.COM>]

SQR-USERS,

In case you missed it, Brio hosted a conference for Brio.Report (SQR),
Brio.Portal (ReportMart) and Brio.Enterprise (BrioQuery) customers
this past week in Monterrey, CA.  The conference, titled Insight 2000,
was a great opportunity to learn about how the three product lines
will be enhanced and integrated in the coming year, and to exchange
application experiences with other users.  There were about 1000
people at the conference, and about 200 of them were serious
SQR users (by my estimate).

SQR users will be excited to hear that support for XML input and
output is coming in the 6.0 release, along with the ability to
query SAP objects, and to query multiple, different databases from
a single report.  There are also some cool integration points with
BrioQuery and Brio.Portal.

The PowerPoint slides from all the presentations are available online.

The SQR-related reports are in the section entitled Enterprise Reporting,
near the bottom of the page.

If you have any questions about the conference, a number of people
from the SQR-USERS list were there, so we should be able to answer
here, in this forum.

Ray Ontko & Co presented 4 talks.  The first three listed below
are SQR-related.  The last one is related to Brio.Portal (ReportMart).
