Remote PowerHouse (was Migration from Powerhouse MPE)

[Luan Ha]

Hi Mark,

Our company base in Western Australia and we have been supporting Powerhouse
and BI
applications for a large multi-national company in Europe for a while now
and it's been
a smooth and very productive operation. With the high speed broadband
internet access,
it doesn't really matter where you are.

Regards,

Luan
