Re: Green-screen versus browser

[Reeve <rfritchman@xxxxxxxxx>]

I'm going to assume this suggestion is highly tongue-in-cheek because
it reflects a lack of understanding of the business world today.  The
operative principle is "have the other guy do it", and that argument
rolls downhill.  You do it for your customers, not the other way
around.  Outsourcing wasn't invented in India; it's been going on
since the beginning of commerce-based society.

Do we set thousands of customers up on Client Access so they can use
our green-screen application?  Or do we spend a couple of days
agreeing on which EDI protocol and version to support small customers
with only a few transactions a day?  Or do we give them a VPN and a
browser aplication?

The technology is the easy part...getting the customer to buy in is
the hard part.
