Basis of reporting tools

Question

HI
If we use crystal reports  as reporting tool,In business organisation  we don't use any other reporting tool like web intelligence,live office,desktop intelligence etc.
On what  basis organisation select there reporting tool from business objects for there business  purpose?
If they use one reporting tool namely xcelsius, they won't use crystal reports?
IF they use only one why is so?
If organisation use multiple reporting tool then what is the need and scenarios ,where we prefer to use on what basis ?
Thanks in advance

hi
each reporting tool has its own features
Eg
webi  --   Powerful on-line  adhoc query and reporting
                if you want to use web based reporting you can use
               For  Interactive Analysis purpose
Deski--- you can use  offline even though the system is not connected to repository
              where as webi not
x celsius--it is nothing but a dashboard.after creating xcesius dashboard even layman also can
                 understand with the pictorial presentation
                 especially for those business users who doesnt have time to analyse the data
                 By viewing simple picture they can get results    
         Eg the country map shows the no of population
              in each state with color representation
               or  through pie diagram
live office :- is also kind of reporting with additional benefits of using Microsoft office
               (means a webi report  requirest some additional  of ms office functionality.For this requirement
                you can import in live office and use additioanlly)
crystal reports: generally used for complex reporting  or for highly formatted reports
