Is your BI solution hard to install and difficult to use?
Is your data out-of-date and your report backlog still a backlog? Is your BI technical department larger than two people, and do they spend most of their time redefining your data to make the solution work? Does your technical team spend hours upon hours installing program fixes? Does your solution work with only one database, and is it too complicated to allow end users to write their own inquiries? Do you have to pay more any time you want to do more? Is your BI solution meeting your needs?
SEQUEL Is Easy
SEQUEL provides access to DB2 and other databases without your having to redefine the world. It's easy to locate your files (tables) and define reports from the queries you've created.

Create Professional-Looking Reports
A SEQUEL administrator, or even an end user, can easily convert queries into professional-looking reports by using the SEQUEL report wizard. You can create most reports in four simple steps. Do you need to add a field or move a column for some government regulation? Or do you need to email a report to a customer or end user? The SEQUEL report generator can build a text-based report in minutes.
Add Graphical Formatting to Your Report
It's easy to add a logo or graph to a report with SEQUEL's Client Reporting Option (see Figure 2).

Everyone--from executives to non-technical management to end users--can create their own Executive Dashboards. Dashboards allow you to view a wide variety of important metrics with the click of a desktop icon.
