Dear Mr. Slessman,

Yes sir, I have personally talked with at least two other customers (one is
a "household name") that are essentially in the same "boat" as your company.
And, of course, the expense involves more than just hardware given the
tier-pricing model used for BPCS.  If you'd like specifics, please give me a
call.

Warm Regards,

Milt Habeck
