Re: Green Screen vs. GUI

Hello Ralph,

My name is Chris Ertz, I work for a company called American Metal Products.
We kicked off our conversion of BPCS 3.1.1 to BPCS 6.0.02(MM) in November
1996.
We were on an F50. Now we are on a 620, and will probably go to a 700
series later this year.  We went live on BPCS 6.0.02 mixed mode on November
28, 1997. We had a consulting team of 3 programmers and a BPCS project
leader for 1 year, plus myself and 2 internal programmers, a business
analyst, and a network analyst .  Each consultant @ 100 dollars per hour.
The rate stated was then, now you will pay much more closer to 200 dollars
per hour.  You are going to have a very difficult time with this conversion
without some major consulting. I hope you organization is ready to spend
some money. I wish you all the luck in the world in pulling this off before
2000.

I think I would consider version 4.5 CD.

Sincerely,

Chris Ertz
Manager of Software Development
American Metal Products

Subject:  Green Screen vs. GUI

Can anyone share their comments with me regarding early releases of BPCS
using "green screen" vs. the newer "GUI" releases.  I understand the GUI
releases require much more horsepower.
Believe it or not, we run BPCS 1.0 (that is not a typeo - we are actually
using one-point-oh) but have been given the mandate to go to 6.?
Thank You,
Ralph Staley
Heinz Frozen Food Co.
