39.0. "Intranet DSS tools, Alpha Servers?" by NZOV02::FARQUHARSON () Fri Apr 11 1997 03:36

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...

One of our VAR's(MSA) has a product that they are introducing called
Business Web. It is a Netscape or Internet Explorer plug-in that
sits on the client and talks to their server package that supports
EssBase and Oracle Express.

They do the graphing,charting,etc.. for the client. Their web site
is being redone at this time but www.msa.com provides you with a
mail pointer.

If you need more info or a demo CD let me know
