PowerHouse in the next 3 years?

The same counts for me as well.

I do have an application ready to use on the shelve (developed using a temporary
WEB license, generously issued by my local PH representatives!!!) but there is
NO WAY that I, like Chris, can justify the costs for the WEB license especially
as I am working for a rather small amount of (potential) users.

My statement over the years to those representatives has been that if they would
make WEB a part of Powerhouse itself (i.e. no extra license costs) they (i.e.
Cognos) would benefit the most. Current users will stay and (maybe) new will
rise.
