Release 5i looks really cool. BusinessObjects is less scalable compared to
Cognus, but, I believe, less expensive also. I personally used BO 5, nice
and robust product, but, it was not possible to include dynamic graphics (from
db, for example). No problem to put a picture.

Would Web Intelligence from Business Objects suit your
needs? <A target=_blank

I personally haven't used it but I talked to a DBA at a user
group meeting who said it was great.
