Anyone willing to share their thoughts on the future roadmap in the IBM/COGNOS world for TM1 and EV?

The official word from IBM / Cognos (at least at the roadshows) is that TM1 and EV have a future with the company, primarily marketed at mid market companies. The American version of mid-market, so still pretty decent sized companies. A fully integrated solution with Cognos 8.4 will be aimed at the bigger fish.

TM1: I think it has a great future as long as Cognos/IBM doesn't screw up.

TM1 used to have two big drawbacks according to me:

- limited datavolumes on 32 Bit
- not a well known company (ie 'no manager has ever been fired for hiring IBM')

Now that 64 Bit windows servers are commonplace and they are part of IBM both of these handicaps have been dealt with. And they still have the advantages they used to have vs competing products.

EV: I am less optimistic.
