Hi Tom || Ken,
I also work in a 'large corporate environment'.
Worldwide we probably have a little bit of everything ... ASP running
off an Access backend, Cold Fusion, ASP running off an Oracle backend,
Brio, Business Objects, ASP running off a SQL Server backend, JSP, and
I'm not sure what else. Some things run on Windows boxes - some on
'Nix boxes.
My little corner of the world currently runs Brio and ASP off Oracle
and MS SQL server databases on a Win box. My infrastructure team
wants to move us to Business Objects running on a 'Nix box.
I'm 'resisting'. ;-)
I don't mind the 'Nix box. But I would prefer not to trade Brio for
Business Objects. (And I'm also more than a little peeved about the
prospect of losing language level control.)
In a similar boat,
RonL.
(Who notes that in a 'large corporate environment' technical issues
usually come with 'political' and 'budgetary' wrappers. The technical
issues are usually the easiest of the three to solve.)
