Re: Client Architecture - Browser?

Dick,

Good summary!  Better than how I put it.  I'm going to print that out and
keep it.

Shawn,

I have some clients who have just completed a review of other ERP systems
as well.  What they found was that MAPICS will meet 98% of their business
requirements without a major outlay of capital.  They took a good thourough
look at what it would take to get what they thought would be a more fully
functional ERP solution and found that the man hour effort and capital
outlay would be more destructive to the business than taking a step back
and really learning how to utilize the tools they currently have and
possibly investing in some new tools (or modules).

This is a normal course for a business.  Typically, what I have observed is
that MAPICS will meet your business requirements.  You may need to upgrade
to the next version of MAPICS, but you would get a substantial "bang for
the buck" as compared to totally converting to another solution.

Thanks for you time..

We are currently running R6 and have decided to review other ERP
packages since MAPICS doesn't handle some of the situations/configs we
have. We created a Pluses and Minuses list for MAPICS and have recently
gone over this with our MAPICS consultants. In the meeting is seemed
that the response to our issues was that the new "client architecture"
will address this. I'm assuming this is the "browser" version.



Is anybody running this?

What sort of issues have you seen?

Would you recommend this?



Thanks for any feedback.
