What's the deal?
Seagate Analysis is a new, standalone desktop application that adds information analysis -- ad hoc query (like that shown in Figure B), OLAP (i.e., Online Analytical Processing) and reporting technologies -- to Lotus Notes and Domino data. Seagate Analysis ships with the new native driver, giving you and your users one integrated reporting tool that's convenient and easy to use.

Seagate Info 7 is a fourth generation enterprise reporting solution that lets you and your users access, analyze, and share information. The new native driver, also shipped in Seagate Crystal Reports, lets you create and share reports from your Lotus Notes and Domino data -- all within the Lotus infrastructure. You and your users can also create integrated reports by combining different data stores, including .NSF (i.e., Notes databases), relational databases, and OLTP (i.e., Online Transaction Processing) systems like SAP.

What are customers saying?
We asked some customers to share their thoughts. One such customer is Relavis Corporation, which makes a sales force automation product called OverQuota. "Seagate's Crystal Reports 7 gives OverQuota a significant improvement in reporting capabilities. OverQuota can now deliver more comprehensive reports, more quickly, for better decision making," said Jean-Pierre Ducondi, Chief Technology Officer at Relavis Corporation. "We are excited about using Seagate Software's new native driver for Lotus Notes and Domino, which will enhance and facilitate the development and distribution of Crystal Reports."
