They won't leave me alone, even though I told him we are struggling through
an SAP implementation and have sadly left PowerHouse behind.

Subject: Re: Core-migration.
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.

I think they got the e-mailing list from Cognos. We were contacted by them
in January. I see that they are located in Ottawa; I'm guessing that the
company was started by some Cognos PowerHouse refugees.

We responded to Core Migration for the purpose of having them estimate the
cost of a conversion. Based on the size of our application, it was going to
be a very expensive proposition. As we run on the IBM AS/400, for which
Cognos has just announced the ending of support, we're on the outlook for
options for converting our program source, but that's as far as we
proceeded.
<!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> <!--[endif]-->
My experience a couple of years ago was that we couldn't find any automated
program source converters for PowerHouse out there. I haven't looked
recently; Core Migration is the first one we've heard of.

Good luck.

Hi all,
I have received some information about a company called Core-migration.
Trough the information I have learned that Core-migration have a proven
method of migrating a powerhouse application to either a .NET or a JAVA
platform.
Is there anyone here whom have heard of this company or tried there
migration or do u have any experiences that u would like to share concerning
this?
Do you know of other companies that offers support/programs to migrate PH ->
Java/.Net/etc.
Regards,
P.H.
