About Powerhouse
Powerhouse was created in the early 1980s by Cognos, a Canadian software company, to address the need for rapid application development in enterprise environments. It provided tools for creating business applications efficiently, streamlining the development process through its integrated suite of products.
Strengths of Powerhouse included its rapid application development capabilities, integrated toolset, and strong database management features. Weaknesses involved its reliance on legacy systems and limited modern support. Competitors included Oracle Forms, Microsoft Access, and IBM's Rational tools.
