Oh, a few of us have heard of it. :-)

I tend to agree with Ron. There are a lot of PowerHouse customers (many who
subscribe to this list) who also use the Cognos BI tools and, I'm sure,
wouldn't mind sharing their knowledge and expertise with anyone who cares to
ask. Heck, even some of us Cognos ADT "old-timers" know a thing or two about
the BI tools -- don't we Matt? ;-)

Another good source of discussion that is very definitely BI-oriented is the
comp.databases.olap Internet newsgroup, which often carries discussions
related to the Cognos BI tools -- most often PowerPlay, Impromptu and Cognos
Query.

Best regards,
Conrad

I say bring it on!  We are in the process of integrating the Web BI tools
into our PowerHouse application.  I have found this group to be immensely
more helpful than the BI news groups on the Cognos web site.  I may be in
the minority, but I think the tool set is a great fit with PowerHouse.
Kent, come to the dark side!!  I have found that sometimes the answer to how
best construct an impromptu query, is to use Quiz...

Do we want our PowerHouse List Server polluted with Cognos BI (as Byron W
calls it 'the dark side') queries.

I say NEVER !
