Uh huh. And Beta is better than VHS. CP-M is better than MS-DOS.
It doesn't matter unless Cognos sells it and customers use it, thus
creating jobs for us. The perceptions of the decision-makers (often
geek wannabes) is what counts, and Cognos has done very little to
pander to them, from where I sit.

Only if YOU want it tobe!
Sometimes i just get tired of hearing how wondurful some of this "new tools"
are, and how terrible the old "legacy" tools are. Have yet to hear that the
new tools provide a better, more reliable, more economical way to do a job.
I hear how expensive they are to implement, how expensive they are to
maintain and in the long run how ureliable they are.
PowerHouse is not perfect but it is a great tool. Add to that the current
PowerHouse Web and you have a great way to expose all those applications
that have been so reliable to the WWW. You can click to PhWeb all you want.
Yes we do have to get our butts out of our comfortable chairs and learn a
little Java and a little JavaScript and HTML but you can be the person that
saves your company millions and in the end, end up with something to serve
your CUSTOMERS BETTER.
just my opinion
