vax to ux conversion (was nonsense subject)

[Pickering, John (NORBORD)]

Who knows what rosy story was told by the salesman. And who knows if the
client directly farmed the work out to the offshore programmers in training
centre or the work was sub-contracted by a fast-buck artist. What - crooks
in our industry? - quelle surprise! And then the client has to hire
expensive Cognos personnel (or you and me, Blue :-) to fix the mess and
eventually says "see PowerHouse sucks, let's get rid of it." There goes
another PH site.

</rant>

Maybe us HP 3000 users are overly sensitive to migration scams these days!

Hey now John, let's not sound mean.  I just think that the list is not where
these guys are going to get the best help for what could be a great number
of questions/issues.

My assumptions could be completely wrong and PowerHouse has "officially"
made it to India and they are working on a local job for a local company and
are supported/trained by Cognos by don't have a lot of experience with PH.

*IF* it is an off-shore gig I am NOT sorry for the client.  There are too
many PH programmers here without gigs to feel sorry for a company that sends
its work off shore.

It's the client, whoever that might be, that I feel most sorry for.

It sounds like you and your co-workers are doing an 'off-shore' project in
India for some Western company.  It also sounds like no of you have had much
or any experience/training  with PowerHouse and probably are not supported
Cognos customers.

Why not hire a PH expert from the USA, CA, UK or Australia to come over and
guide you guys right?  It would be more efficient than expecting this list
to provide that sort of support.
