Re: We go live one month from now...

Hi Konrad,

Many thanks for your reply, your motto seems to be "watch out for 3rd party
software additions", which is highly relevant to us as we have quite a
number of them, not least of which is the Intersite Logistics solution from
Agility.

As far as we can tell, they are working as designed during our test cycles,
fingers crossed this continues for the go live!

MAPICS was selected by our parent company (good guess), but I was not really
involved with the thinking behind that decision ("Ours is not to wonder why,
ours is just to do and die.")

I have made a note to find out if we have the source code or not, thanks for
that suggestion.

Regards,
Geoff
