I meant to blog this yesterday, but forgot. So, in case you are one of the few who did not hear this yet, FlashPaper is now available as a standalone product. See http://www.macromedia.com/software/flashpaper/.

Government Computers News (GCN) is running a story about an application "which operates within the [Navy's] budget office, uses business intelligence software to make sense of everything from supply chain data to aircraft maintenance costs." The system "draws from 133 Navy and DOD data sources, some dating back to the mid-1980s", and allows over 1350 users to extract data and run reports. And of course, the Web interface is written in ColdFusion. Story at http://www.gcn.com/23_19/news/26624-1.html.
