"After reviewing packages from Argos, Oracle, Cognos and Microsoft Reporting services we decided on WebFOCUS. It was very evident that WebFOCUS was a mature information delivery platform and the capabilities were years ahead of the competition. We recognized that Banner offered a lot of advantages for our university, but we needed a business intelligence platform to deliver those benefits."
