I know, I didn't think there was and discussion anymore about
Powerhouse vs Speedware anymore. Kind of a no brainer how technically
superior Speedware is. I'm at a shop know where they are stuck with
Cognos.

We're just looking for a way to bail out of Powerhouse because of
financial treatment of us.  They seem not to care and if you know the
company, you'd be shocked.

Is there anyway to convert Speedware, any other ways of dealing with
Cognos would be helpful.  Eventually we will be bailing out of our
HP/3000s, but that is a while.

anything Cognos
