Great Plains is distributing ProClarity by Knosys (www.knosysinc.com). They also dropped QickCubes from Corporate Renaissance Group at the same time. There is no clear communication on this matter from GPSI. In regards to Knosys GPSI announced 8/30 w/ press release, 9/8 with internal post, 9/20 w/ Canadian post. No other communications have been forthcoming. The Cognos / CRG announcement was in the form of dropping them from their support agreement renewals. (CRG's QuickCubes brochure was missing yesterday but the link remained. Cognos had made not changes to their web site yesterday.) It is worth noting that: 1) Cognos and CRG are still compatible with GP eEnterprise. 2) They may continue to sell into this market. 3) There are other middle market accounting solutions that may be supported. 4) These products were only compatible with SQL installations (more $s) for their high end accounting package (even more $s). 5) If GPSI's partners had been moving a lot of product there would be strong partner pressure not to drop the products.
