RE: Quote to actual tracking

  PRESENCE is tool that is application-neutral, and can connect to any data
  source that supports ODBC or JDBC drivers, whether that be MAPICS on the
  AS/400, or Oracle on a Unix platform, or SQL Server, etc..

  PRESENCE monitors at the field level of the database for either changed,
  unchanged, deleted, or new data.  Based on a preconditioned comparison,
  PRESENCE will automatically take action (ie, go off and do another tasks,
  update an applicaiton/database, send automated notifications, build
  reports, scorecards, etc.).  Tasks can be scheduled or on-demand.

  PRESENCE can interface with each of the MAPICS modules by digging down to
  the field level.  By using ODBC or JDBC drivers, PRESENCE doesn't need to
  use the GL interfaces.

  In Ron's case, PRESENCE could be scheduled once a day to look for new or
  changed quotes in the Windows appliation, compare the items to their
  actual costs in MAPICS and present a report and package it in an email to
  be distributed to the appropriate person(s), say by email.  PRESENCE could
  also update any other applications based on these results.

  I would be happy to show you a WebEx demo to show you more, if interested.

  Again, you can contact me offline to discuss.

  Thank you,
