The most important reporting and query tools
The most important reporting & query tool is one that is embraced and used by your business community. Which tool you decide to bring into your organization is largely driven by the level of technical savvy and desire for empowerment that your business users have. Another huge influencing factor is your company's budget. Make sure you interview your business community to understand what kinds of information access and analysis they expect to do before you decide on the tool.
