Re: anyone heard of "MITI SQR"?

[Ray Ontko <rayo@ONTKO.COM>]

Paul,

My understanding is that PeopleSoft bought the rights to the
source code for SQR.  I don't know any details of the ongoing
relationship between Brio and PeopleSoft, but I assume that
PS can now control which features get added and which bugs
get fixed in _its_ version of SQR, and Brio will continue to
license SQR and add features that open new markets for the
product as a tool quite separate from those needed for PS.
I don't expect PS to sell SQR separately from its products.

There is some chance that the two versions of SQR will diverge
over time, I suppose.  I would expect that both versions will
remain largely the same; SQR is a fairly mature product, and
all of the enterprise reporting features are still core features
for both Brio and PeopleSoft.
