my company is looking at BI reports using either one of the below:
- 2005 reporting services
- Webhouse
- Panorama
Data source = GP 9.0
can anyone tell me the main difference between the three products or
any recommendations?
thanks.

Webhouse is from Professional Advantage but no longer exists except for
added cubes for Project Accounting, WennSoft, and one other item. The
financial and distribution cubes are available from Microsoft. You get the
financial cubes with the foundation layer of GP. You can add on the
distribution cubes as part of the Advanced Analysis Cubes.
The cubes can be accessed using the Pivot Table Creator for Excel, the Excel
add-in for SQL Server Analysis Services, SQL Reporting Services, Business
Portal, Crystal Reports, and many other report writers.
I do not know anything about the last item.

It is interesting that you metioned SQL reporting services report can
be accessed via the home page in GP9. I am just wondering how can it be
done?
thanks
thanks for your help and the valuable information esp on cubes. :-)
Sad to say, my company has already purchased webhouse and judging from
the information, that software can be shelved since we have also
upgraded to SQL server 2005.

Also, we would most likely be using Panorama NovaView Dashboard to
displays the KPI and views. Has anyone in the industry done the above?
I would like to get some feedback.
thanks
