Let me take this one.
=20
We want everyone to try PowerHouse Web. We think that anyone who wants =
to do
data-driven web applications will love it. If anyone wants a 6 month =
trial,
we can arrange that.
=20
As for the offer of "free software" it applies to supported customers =
of
PowerHouse on a platform that supports PowerHouse Web. Why? Because you =
need
PowerHouse (QDESIGN and PDL/PHD) in order to create screens/pages for
PowerHouse Web to run. So our offer was directed at supported customers =
on
MPE/iX, OpenVMS Alpha, UNIX (HP-UX, AIX, Solaris), and Windows =
NT/2000/XP.
PowerHouse 4GL and PowerHouse Web 8.4D will be shipping on those =
platforms
in early April.
=20
For AS/400 customers, if you'd like to try PowerHouse Web, pick a =
platform
where it's supported and let us know (call Bob Berry). I'm sure we can =
work
something out.

Bob Berry,
=20
Just checking:  Does "all supported customers" in this context (6 month
trial) include those on the AS/400?

Thanks.

Tim,
=20
My initial answer to your question was a simple "NO".
=20
However, one has to recognize that Cognos is the dominant BI software
company in the world. They have a marketing strategy for this side of =
the
business and are seeing great results.  I believe that some of the best
marketing that any company can do is by word of mouth and by list =
servers
such as this.  In many ways this forum is one of the best exposure =
areas for
topical discussions on the problems and opportunities that we all face.
Perhaps limited in scope but powerful in getting news out to the legion =
of
PH supporters.
=20
I was asked earlier "what does 6 months mean".  Let me explain:  In the
package that all supported customers will receive will be the =
following.
=20
        The latest version of PH on the appropriate platform.
=20
        PowerHouse Web and AXiant will be included.  You will be asked =
to
call Cognos for a Temporary license key that will allow you to use both =
or
either products for a six month period.  Upon completion of the trial =
you
will have the choice to either keep the software for the price of =
support or
discontinue using it.
=20
I hope that this helps anyone and everyone in their future plans =
regarding
PowerHouse.

Bob,

Is there a reason that Cognos does not advertise PH?

We have published a date for PowerHouse on MPE/iX. We did so very soon =
after
HP's announcement. As previously announced PowerHouse on MPE/iX will be
supported until Dec 31, 2006. We have also matured PowerHouse on VAX =
(due to
HP's end of life on VAX), and on AS/400 and Tru64 (due to business =
reasons).
We have updated the supported products list on the support.cognos.com =
web
site to include these dates.=20
=20
All other platforms, OpenVMS Alpha, UNIX (HP-UX, AIX, Solaris), and =
Windows
NT/2000/XP are fully supported.
=20
Don't ask me how long PowerHouse will be supported on those platforms
because there is no end-of-support date. If there's business, it will =
go on
forever. If not, we will make that decision based on the business at =
the
time.
=20
Hopefully you saw Cognos' announcement of their annual results. =
Application
Development Tools' revenue for our last fiscal year was about 29.5 =
million
dollars US. That is not insignificant. We're not going away any time =
soon.

HP has been honest and given us the 3000-date, Dec 31, 2006. =20
What about Cognos?  Will they give us the PowerHouse-date soon?
"We have no plans for that" they probably say, but what are the Cognos =
plans
for PH?   No marketing for years, that gives us a clue!  I think you =
know
Bob, are Cognos going to let it slowly die, or are you going to be =
straight
and give us the date?
