PH in Europe

[Stewart, Mark]

It depends on the employment agency you talk to.  I've spoke to one agency
and one I told them I had PowerHouse they felt sorry for me.  I was at a
dead end (according to them) and after they hired me they would see to it
that I'd be trained in some other technology.  Other recruiters at other
agencies acted like they won the lottery when they actually found someone
who know PowerHouse.  They thought PowerHouse was the greatest thing for
someone to have.  When I posted my resume through a number of Internet
consultant/client professional databases in February 98' it was distributed
to over 2000 companies.  I received 40 job offers all over the Canada and
the U.S. for PowerHouse within a week!  Pretty good for a dead language.
You'll find people all over the place that for some reason think that their
PowerHouse site is one of the last.  Some people even think since they have
spent so much money through the years they can some how get Cognos to put
modifications into PowerHouse just for them.  As if no one else has paid
Cognos a few dollars through out the years.  As far is new sites go I
haven't heard of any.  Cognos ADT products will be dead if there continues
to be more abandonment as opposed to adoption.  Cognos seems to only focus
on existing customers for ADT products.  Now that Axiant is getting better
and client server is the big thing they should start pushing it as a new
product for companies.  Even that product looks geared totally toward
PowerHouse migration (existing customers)  from a bystanders point of view.
There is now reason you can't start from scratch with Axiant.  They don't
advertise this though.  Again why are they not pushing their ADT tools at
new customers.  They did this years and years ago.  They have ADT products
all over the world.  How did they achieve that?  Have they forgot how to
sell ADT products to new customers and not only existing ones.
