Celequest/Cognos SAAS vs Lucidera

I read with amusement Ken's comments on our SaaS offering and acquisition by Cognos. His comments are particularly rich coming from a company whose products have been in beta for ever. Perhaps you should speak with the salesforce.com folks about what they think of the Celequest offering given were are certified and live on Appexchange today.

Maybe its just that Lucidera is feeling a little nervous given they are about to face real competition with a real SaaS BI product that is live today and backed by the 2nd largest BI company in the world.

Ken might also want to check our our test drive -- he will notice there is it is a true SaaS solution, not appliance, not managed service not appliance.

We do sell appliances -- happens to be a very good business for us.

I dont know what professional services he is referring to. But then again given that their product is not yet released we'll see how they do in the market.

Good luck Ken. Hope you do better with Lucidera than Siebel on demand did.
