480.0. "Intranet Browser DSS Tools, Alpha Server ?" by NZOV02::FARQUHARSON () Fri Apr 11 1997 03:34

Howdy,
	I am currently helping out a team responding to an RFP for a 
DataWarehouse opportunity.  The RFP requires details on DSS tools that
can be used as skinny clients, particularly through use of Intranet/Internet
Browser technology.  A tool that has been considered is Information Advantage,
however the server component does not run on Digital Platforms at this stage.

My questions are:

1)	Are there any DSS tools currently on the market that support a skinny
	client, and that run the server portion on Digital Hardware and 
	Operating Systems

2)	What DSS tools are available at the moment that utilise 
	Intranet/Internet Browser technology as the front-end

				thanks in advance for any replies
				Colin...

    Check SAS tools,
    They always had a thin client using a FAT SAS server.
    I thing they demonstrate now Web enabled tools.
    They run on Digital UNIX and VMS.
