Re: OpenERP and Business Intelligence

 

Ovnicraft,

Please test it. Check and judge by yourself if you don't agree. Our
solution has PROs and CONs and it's very difficult to have an interesting
conversation if you don't know what you are talking about and you don't
have seen it before. We will waste time arguing "it's not feasible", "it's
probably not as good", "but saiku do it that way", "Not Inveted Here is
never a good approach..." if you don't judge by yourself.

It's quite easy to test on runbot, here is the steps to test:
  - Go to runbot: http://runbot.openerp.com
  - Search the branch  "trunk-new-graphview-ged"
  - Click on the arrow on the right of connect and select "All Addons"
  - Go to Sales > Opportunities
  - Switch to graph view
  - Play with the data (the 'cube' view is the first icon)

Once you will have tested it, I can answer all questions and we can discuss
PROs and CONs. Before, we all waste our time.
