Where does PowerHouse rank these days?

[Mark Stewart]

Bob, they're are moving to Cognos BI Series 8 here at my client in Detroit as well.  I really like the new Cognos 8 suite...it's really nice.  I'm putting together some specific reporting data marts for the guy writing the checks around here.  I'll be putting some of my new FrameWorks on top of.  ETLing the whole thing into Oracle with DataStage.  It's quite the tool.  Nice arrows and pictures they have.  It's funny I first heard of Cognos back in 93' but it was because of PowerHouse.  You get really wierd looks from people when you talk about it today.  Bob I don't blame you for not wanting to promote it to clients anymore.  It's like talking about the crazy drunk uncle in the family or something.  It's funny now that the DW side generally does not cleanse data nor do they question the source.  Most DW people may never see the application.  They are just content that the data is in the source tables as if it were immaculately conceived.  With so many not even aware of where the
 application resides perhaps the last thought on their minds would be a application development 4GL like PowerHouse.
