Re: Real World Benefits to Mapics 7+ upgrade

From my perspective... The Power Architecture programs (Power-Link et

al).

The migration (from R5 to R7) was straight forward enough, the thing
that really hurt us was custom code.

Subject: [MAPICS-L] Real World Benefits to Mapics 7+ upgrade

After reading all the Infor information on the topic I could get my
hands on I though I would throw the question out to the real world.  If
you have upgraded to Mapics 7 or higher what are the real advantages
that you have experienced?  How was the upgrade "sold" to your
management staff?

I guess the question could also apply to release 6 as well since we are
currently at 5.5 with AP/AR (no IFM) and PDM+ (not EPDM).

The biggest win on the infrastructure side for us will be to get back
into software/PTF support but we are looking for opportunities on the
business side as well since it will require commitment from all
departments to test and validate the deployment.

Your input is appreciated,
