Enterprise 99

[Pickering, John (NORBORD)]

>>I'm fully aware of the differences. 
>Then why did you say 'just another Axiant'?
I was speaking about sessions. Some PHWeb marketing presentations and "yet
another" flogging of Axiant touting new features etc. Get a free demo and do
the demo lesson - you'll probably learn more for no more than the cost of
your time.

>>Too bad it isn't free. 
>At ~USD500 per seat it's not abnormal as far

>check out the price for ONE copy of Data Merchant.
Seems like something many PH shops would use if they had it. But you won't
find any kids to build your web site who have ever heard of it. Give it to
existing PH shops to help protect against erosion of support revenues.

>>Axiant is improving - now where it should have been 5
>>years ago. So where's the news and/or education in this?
>I have never used Axiant and with the experience I've had with other

But it ain't VB or Delphi or Powerbuilder. Underneath it's still PowerHouse
and should be marketed to existing PH customers as a developers' workbench.
Use it to support your existing green screen systems. Once hooked I'll bet
sales for users seats would follow.

>>Poor you for not attending other conferences. But I question how much

>>attendance :-(
>I thought you might be there to have a cuppa with.
Kinda doubt it at the moment.

>>Spoken like a guy without kids. The rest of us will get a lot of flack
when
>>they learn Mom or Dad is going to Orlando without them!
>I do have kids (9 & 7).  I just told them how much it would cost to take
them
>and we're going to Alaska in July.  I might take them for the weekend just
>before the conference.
My guys are already p-o'd that I'm considering not going. Life's tough when
you're 9 :-(
