If Cognos produced Trucks!<?xml:namespace prefix =3D o ns =3D
"urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
The company management want a truck looking like a Ferrari, delivered on
their doorstep the same afternoon. The package producers give them just
that; they are copying Ferraritrucks in their factories. (The
steeringwheel and the sparewheel are even made from the same object!)=20
Cognos/Powerhouse is giving them a construction set for a truck, saying
the car can be constructed by the local plumber five times faster, but
it will be ready next year, and it will look like a truck. If you want 5
different trucks, you can use the same construction set, but if you want
10 trucks looking the same, but in 10 different garages, you must pay
for 10 construction sets.
Cognos, please make the company management understand this?
