I'm not sure why, either. They found their way into my database in that category some time back, presumably because they were listed as a competitor to INFA in some article or other. I looked at the site you linked me to, and it does look like their main focus is more as a competitor to VRTS rather than to INFA. On the other hand, wouldn't the data transformation software really do the same kinds of things as data warehouse software, even though they don't use those words? Carl

The private company they own a stake in is PointBase which has Java database technology and claims to be the leader in mobile wireless data management. They make enterprise data available to wireless devices. Note that in this press release: biz.yahoo.com which is about DMC's ability to administer DataMirror Transformation Server from cell phones and other wireless devices, they say DataMirror Transformation Server has become a critical component of the IT infrastructure for many of the company's customers, supporting e-Business, business intelligence and other distributed data applications. Customers need to be able to continuously monitor the status of data replication and act quickly to respond to replication needs. This was the paragraph that initially made me think that DMC might have the wireless technology that COGN was looking for. Data Transformation Server, which together with iTransmit, interfaces to the PointBase products and makes enterprise data available to wireless devices sounds to me like what COGN wants. It sounds like everyone thinks I'm way out in left field, so maybe I am. I guess I'll just drop it. DMC looks like a good investment in its own right, though. Carl
