по поводу HierCube, RainbowSoft купила Radar-Soft, вот их открытое письмо из которого следует что версию HierCube для MS AS следует ждать к конуц года

The open letter from Radar-Soft
First of all we'd like to thank our customers both who have already purchased the product and those who evaluate it. We plan the development of our products based on you advises and suggestions. Many useful features of the HierCube library have come from you.

So, marking your contribution to our products, we now increase the period of free upgrading up to one year.

Now few words about our further plans.

Considering the .NET platform as the most perspective for today, we plan to concentrate our main forces on that direction. You can see the fruits of this work right now: the new version of ASP.NET component works hundred of times faster than the version published by RainbowSoft in the beginning of the year. Now it can really work with tens and hundreds of users at the same time.

Our plans also include improvement of documentation for all products for all platforms, and also translation of documentation and site pages to main European languages.

The second line of our development is integration of the HierCube library with the already existing OLAP-servers, and in the first place with MS Analysis. You must really like the product combining the comfort of HierCube library with the power of enterprise OLAP-server!

Both versions of VCL and .NET HierCube library will support MDX syntax and will be able to work independently as well as connecting to MS Analysis server as client. We plan to publish both versions in the end of the year.

For now we represent to your attention new VCL and .NET versions of HierCube library which from our viewpoint have many important and interesting things.

With regards and hope for perspective cooperation, Radar-Soft team.
