PowerHouse in the next 3 years?

[Edis, Robert]

Not only a PowerHouse confirmation but OpenVMS and Oracle Rdb as well!  I
feel good!  Some decision maker has a modicum of wisdom up there in CA. :)

We are currently planning to ramp up our PH systems, converting HP Unix
PH/Interbase to PH OpenVMS/RDB databases.  Our main so-called "legacy"
system is quite large and complex and will become more so as the years go
on.  The neat thing about staying with an older system is that it keeps
getting faster and faster as the boxes/network are replaced with newer
hardware.  Our system is now 20 times larger than 10 years ago, with over a
million lines of PH code and yet runs far faster than it did, cheaper and
with greater connectivity than ever.  The platform (OpenVMS), PH and RDB
combination really works for us.   PH is NOT dead as far as we are
concerned.

I am curious...what will be the largest activity
involving PowerHouse in the next few years for
companies?  Does Cognos have a expected growth/decline
chart on their website for this product?  What are the
expected areas for growth?  What are the expected areas
for decline. 

Will it be HP3000 to HP9000 migration projects?
Will it be moving away from PowerHouse?
What about possible HP3000 to Axiant projects? 
PowerHouse Web Projects?
What activities will show up the most on the scale in
the next few years.  It would be kind of nice to have
around a 3 year estimation of trends for this
particular product (PowerHouse).  I don't want to spark
one of those 'Is PowerHouse Dead' discussions please. 
What do people/Cognos think will be the main projects
involving PowerHouse in the next few years?

Just curious on how Cognos views PowerHouse 4GL in
their product line in 3 years.
