Powerhouse and the future - Part 3.

[Ken Langendock]

I agree with you on the Visibility issue with Powerhouse.
Bob is doing an excellent job on improving the tools we have, not it is
up to Cognos to put back the funding into the advertising for the ADT
product.
It's not like PH isn't bringing in any money....

As for Axiant.....uh.....good luck with that...

Out of that list only 1, 2, & 4 seem new to people who have been using 
terminal emulators on GUI interfaces such as MS Windows, and 2 is really

just part of number 1.

I doubt it will.  For instance, we don't run Quick on Windows so QKView 
is a dead issue to me at this time. Why spend resources on QKView when 
Quick and Axiant are available? I also can't help but wonder how many 
people think Bob's list seems short for their personal case. It is good 
however to see the tool does move forward, even if it is at a glacial
speed.

The biggest issue is the invisibility of Powerhouse. Most I.S. type 
people seem to have never heard of it, and that is reflected in the job 
market. For those that have heard of it and try finding it on the Cognos

site, they would be better off using Google than the Cognos front page, 
which I have always found to be a horrific statement of Cognos corporate

support.

Anyhow, it is nice to see some things of interest in the pipeline that 
can be directly useful to me. ;)
