Re: Installations Running ERPLX

This one may be best answered by one of the SSA Global folks that subscribe
to the list.  Having said that, we are a Recognized Services Provider
partner of SSA Global and it is my understanding from some of the sessions
we have been involved in that there are 4 clients up and running, another 20
or so in process and upwards of 100 who have acquired the software.  We are
about to start a couple of projects involving upgrades to LX.  We have had
LX loaded on our AS400 for quite some time and have not experienced any
significant issues (we are obviously not in a production situation - so not
suggesting that there won't be any issues - but you get the point if you
have been around from the early V6 days).  

You should also be aware that Feature Pack 1 (FP1) of ERP LX (think 8.3.1
regarding prior release terminology) is due out soon.  Some very nice
enhancements (such as fair share allocations, streamlined and improved unit
of measure calculations, add'l WC overhead rates, improved yield and lead
time calculations, etc) have been added - some of which are to encourage
PRMS folks to consider a move to ERP LX w/o losing current functionality in
that product.  This is part of the convergence strategy to be rolled out
over the next year or so.

Hope this is of some help.  Feel free to contact me off-line.

Hi All,

feel for the number of Companies live on this release. 

Thanks in Advance
