COGNOS is listening! <accolades, applause!> HP3000

[John Backus]

Hello all,

Wow!  From 'The 3000 NewsWire'
http://www.3000newswire.com/newswire/newspage.html

The following are quoted paragraphs from The 3000 NewsWire's homepage:

Prather said HP is acknowledging that its relationships with these
companies, some very large and others very small, fell into disrepair in the
1990s. Now the division has a new mission that's really an old one: To bring
technical consulting and marketing assistance to companies still making
MPE/iX software which can provide business solutions.

The change in strategy does not drop the focused vertical market plan that
CSY has pursued for more than two years. Instead, the new plan acknowledges
the greater role that application providers outside of the "key verticals"
are playing in the 3000 renaissance.

4GL vendors cut fees to attract HP 3000 business - Speedware drops its
upgrade fees on Visual Speedware and Autobahn, while Cognos adopts a new
price structure based on HP's user license tiers, to woo the rising HP 3000
development marketplace back to fourth generation languages.

(end quote)

Congratulations to Cognos for 'taking  hold of one of the many hands that
feeds you' through a cooperative, long term pricing strategy.
