| Ofer,
You are absolutely right.
The demand we do have now (at least for the Telecom industry) deal
on "vertical" applications, i.e. business solutions such as CBA,
traffic analysis, churn mgt, etc...
Few ISV's have developped such applications (we presently are in
talks with some of them for a port to Alpha). In the mean time, the
only alternative we have is to demonstrate that we can "develop" very
quickly "personnalised" customer applications (see the Telecom Digital
Data Mart on customer segmentation that needed only six weeks).
For your specific case, I'll come back to you (and Avi) soon with
(hope good) news.

| Re .2,
Sure, these are all there. But in many cases it's nothing more than
just naming products and consultancy firms that planned to work
together. I've destilled three potential usefull ones:
- DFMS for fraud management in TELECOM
- A solution for MicroMarketing in Banking with KPMG and SAS
- A solution for Healthcare with D&T and Oracle
On the other hand the field gets bombarded with many more Data Mart
packages that are too generic to add real value to customers (my
personal belief).
I would like to see just what Ofer asked: industry specific SOLUTIONS
(not toolkits) where Data Warehousing technologies and products are
used. I expect the industry expertise centers to take a lead in this.
Goal should be to have for each segment, banking, insurance, retail,
telecom, manufacturing at least 4-5 canned solutions available,
integrated with the solutions that already exist for that industry.
FWIW, cheers,
Henny

| -And there is one more psycological point. IT is bombarded with 10^x
extraction tools,
OLAP tools, query and report etc... Sure many run on Digital environment and
many are good. But how to choose? who will promise a neat integration?
Creating
such bundles will serve the IT peace of mind.
-And yet again, the key for success (to my opinion) is marketing.....
marketing.
Simple bundle , nice names and a lot of windy PR about it.
Ofer.

| re -1:
DIGITAL has classified tools vendors into 4 categories:
- tier 1: Oracle and SAS; 70% of the business
- tier 2: Business Objects, Cognos, Informix, Microsoft SQL Server,
Oracle OLAP; the major players
- tier 3: others on the Digital platform
- tier 4: others not on the Digital platform
Regarding these tools working together or not, this is what I expected
HiTest to bring, together with some basic configuration tips and
parameter (system, database) settings. Maybe I've looked in the wrong
places but what I've seen from HiTest is just hardware, operating
system and DIGITAL software.
Cheers,
Henny
