A very interesting post indeed. I know it was in a EP thread but you can tell there is a fair amount resistance to TM1 still. I suppose it's only natural that there is some product loyalty.

The correct answer to the question, and I think IBM is pretty open about it, is a bit ambiguous:
- "Is this the end of Cognos Planning" No

but also:
- Is the future TM1? - Yes
- Which product are IBM Cognos positioning for new prospect and customers? - TM1
(unless there is a very good reason why not, typically very hig concurrency input)

This can be taken either way depending on your particular viewpoint.

CP has a large customer who seem to be loyal and like it. IBM will continues to support them but future development of CP will be very very limited. CP specific skills will be useful for a few years more but will become less and less important. (Also, we often come across companies who have or had CP and either never implemented it or stopped using it because it was a nightmare to administer, couldn't scale and wasn't flexible enough!).

The database of choice going forward for the Performance Management applications is TM1 and the next planning "Applicaton" will try and combine the power and strength of the TM1 engine with a front-end\client that incorporates some of the (hopefully) nicer features of CP contributor. Personally I think it will be quite a long time before this gest released and properly bedded down.
