Most reporting tools should work with Informix. Then there are the BI tools. They also work (Cognos obviously), but they may be oriented to DW reports. Not sure what your customer needs. I believe the question should not be focused on Informix... Select a few tools that do what they want, and then check it's compatibility with Informix... It should not be a big problem because most of them operate through JDBC or some other standard interface (.NET, ODBC...)
