I received a call from one of their sales reps about 3 weeks ago. It
seems that they did some sort of internet search and found my website
and decided to use me as a contact into my client base. When I asked
what the benefit of a Powerhouse person having his client switch to .net
and/or Java he didn't have an answer though. The sales rep didn't even
know what platform their software ran on.
I did recognize two of the names from their website as ex-Cognos
employees: Gary Whitworth and Wayne Lucky. Gary used to work in Customer
Service and Wayne was a sales rep.
