Default Re: MS AS vs. Cognos PowerPlay

Hi,

Well I have to say that the Panorama java webclient is one of the
fastest OLAP clients available. Even it is faster than the Panorama
html webclient.

We have experience that any html client is slower in performance than
the Panorama java webclient!

Maybe this is also due to MSAS MOLAP but more based on the Panorama
Intelligence Server!

Regards, Marco
