Has anyone some experience with converting a solution from Business Objects to Cognos 10, using the converting service called "Dynaflux", from Dynasoft ?

I am not familiar but I'd be skeptical about any automatic conversion product. I read the overview briefly and see mention of reports but don't see any mention of a framework model. Could it be that their product just figures out the SQL from the source report and then creates a Cognos report using a SQL query? That would be less than ideal in my opinion.

I would suggest that a migration is the perfect opportunity to assess reporting elements in use throughout the organization to assess and improve. Quick and dirty approaches are rarely as quick as advertised.....only dirty.
