Re: Data Warehousing Tools - To Bundle Or Not to Bundle?

Anybody going to answer questions 1 - 4

1. Are "Back Office" type data warehousing bundles the way to go?
2. If they are what category of tools should make up a bundle? What, if anything, should not be in a bundle?
3. If money was not an issue and you were able to put together a cross-vendor bundle, what currently shipping products would you put in it?
4. Since money actually is an issue in the real world, what would be the optimum price that a customer should pay for a bundle? This figure has nothing to do with consultancy or hardware.
5. What effect will the pending Microsoft BackOffice that includes NT5.0/SQL Server 7.0 do to the efforts of the vendors currently offering similar one stop data warehousing bundles.
