In response to the note on the message board I feel compelled to respond.

Although no one can predict the future ( if we could I'm sure there would be
many more lottery winners), I think is was President Truman who said " if you
want to know the future read your history".

In my career in the software industry I have had three jobs in 17 years, with my
latest position being that of CEO of SSAGT.  I am a pragmatic and decisive
leader with a demonstrable record of service and achievement.   I intend to
rebuild the  BPCS brand through hard work and listening to our customers.
I invite all of you to come to the conference to hear what our product strategy
is and how we are investing the OGS development dollars.  I can't change the
fact that there have been 5 other CEO's in the last few years, but I can tell
you this, there is a new sheriff in town and things are changing.

Come on down to Boca, I think you will get your money's worth if not, deduct the
$895  from your next OGS invoice!
And I will be there in 2002 as well.

Mike Greenough
Chairman, CEO and President

Sorry, but why pay more money to hear information for
what we are already paying OGS for? Travel budgets and
expenses are tight at most companies because of the
economy, and with APICS and Commons coming up shortly
after this meeting we can't be everywhere.  When I
look back at the past and what we were told, the
decision whether to come or not becomes an easy one:

1997 - Roger Covey
1998 - Bill Stuek
1999 - Bob Carpenter
2000 - Vic Shepherd
2001 - Mike Greenough
2002 - ???

Please let me know who it will be in 2002 so I can put
it in my schedule.
