RE: Outrageous prices real?

["Wills, Mike N. (TC)" <MNWills@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

A Lawson Product that uses an existing connection into Lawson costs 20,000.
And all it does is give an easy way to connect to Lawson in Word and Excel
to upload and download (a bit more than that, but you get the idea).

While searching the Net, came across following at

Question:
Are all packages this expensive?
Who buys this? And why?

We are a small shop.
We want to generate and distribute reports, economically.
