Questionaire resultsBob,

Seeing as you are open to enhancing the ADT products, and are demonstrating
a commitment to ADT from Cognos, maybe you could share what type of
licensing activity you see with the ADT products.  It seems that you believe
there is a strong opportunity for ADT to grow.  Maybe we have the wrong
perception that the product is dying.?

Good Day to all

The results of my email questionaire follow below.  However, I must first
comment on the appreciation of all those who chose to respond and speak
their frank and honest opinions, both for and against PowerHouse and Cognos.
Please be assured that you have been heard.

As for the results...

1.) Include PHWeb and AXiant in the box for the 8.4 release??

        A resounding "YES"
The idea has been discussed and I believe this will happen.

2.) Migrating to Unix or Web??

        "YES"

3.) Would IT directors embrace this technology??

        FREE will always be embraced!!!

4.) Is there as a need for PH Linux??

        "YES"

5.) Do you need Itanium support??

        In Europe it appears to be more prominent.

        In North America the results are mixed.

        Cognos is reviewing Itanium currently.

6.) Are you willing to show cost savings, manhour reductions, increased
productivity, etc. etc??

        "YES"

I would like to address some of the critics that seem to feel that the ADT
Development is not keeping up with the demands of the installed base.
Please review the release of products and the dates that we expect to
release back to the base.  This is the work of a very talented team that
continues to produce great software.

PowerHouse 8.4xC, PowerHouse Web 2.4xC, Axiant 3.4 - On-Request Release.

NT and UNIX (HP-UX, AIX, Solaris) should be available by the end of May.

OpenVMS, MPE/iX, UNIX (Tru64) about 2 months later, say July.

We hope to have a beta for Eloquence in the summer, probably August.

PowerHouse 8.4xD, PowerHouse Web 2.4xD, Axiant 3.4 (maybe D) - Back-to-Base
Will include Eloquence on NT and HP-UX plus performance improvements

NT and UNIX (HP-UX, AIX, Solaris) maybe October

OpenVMS, MPE/iX, UNIX (Tru64) December

If you should have any questions, please feel free to contact me and I'd be
happy to discuss any of your concerns.
