Re: Informix business grew by double digits in 2006 (Q1+Q2)
Neil Truby questioned the claim that IDS licence revenue grew by double digits in H1 2006, asking what it was compared to and why details were not public. Guy Bowerman answered that it was against 1H 2005. Obnoxio The Clown joked in reply, and Eric Herber complained that IBM was doing nothing real to market IDS despite promises.

From what is he or she quoting? It's a shame they won't release this stuff publicly. Does anyone know why? Is it for fear of drawing unfavourable (or favourable?) comparisons with DB2 on non-mainframe platforms? Also, with so little detail available, the rigorous statistician in me asks "IDS license revenue grew by double digits in the first half of 2006 .." COMPARED TO what????!!!!!!!!!

Tell the rigorous statistician that it's probably last year. And don't post while you're on the job! -- Bye now, Obnoxio "... no bill is required as no value was provided." -- Christine Normile

I heard a lot of promises on the InfoBahn and in face to face meetings regarding marketing in the last months, but I really can't see any progress today. This is what frustates you, me and many other loyal Informix fellows and supporters and IBM is on the best way to loose those loyal people if they won't prove their promises with real, serious marketing activity. I'm tired to hear any lip services, now it's time to fix those failures, period. > > Also, with so little detail available, the rigorous statistician in me > asks > "IDS license revenue grew by double digits in the first half of 2006 .." > COMPARED TO what????!!!!!!!!!
