== Migration to the PC ==

Cognos initially attempted to move to the [[Intel]] platform in 1988 with the [[DOS]]-based ''PowerHouse PC''. While the product was used by numerous partners to build bespoke applications for small to medium -sized customers it was not entirely unsuccessful at that time. However, Cognos eventually produced Axiant (c.1995), which ported PowerHouse-like syntax to an Intel-based [[Microsoft Windows]] visual development environment and linked it to [[SQL]] aware [[DBMS]] running on these machines. The radical changes wrought by the PC revolution, which began just at the time ''PowerHouse'' was introduced, eventually brought down the cost of host computers to such an extent that high-priced software development tools such as PowerHouse became unattractive to customers.{{Citation needed|date=February 2007}}
