All the same, if I were that customer I'd be exploring alternatives. The Inxight visualization tools were cutting edge several years ago but they haven't been enhanced in years and they show their age. If I ran Business Objects, I'd look at modernizing them and integrating them with other platform components in order to compete with visualization focused BI upstarts such as Spotfire, Tableau, and Qliktech.
