Subject: Does this tick you off?

We have some users who have gone looking for some outside Windows software which does scheduling for a Manufacturing plant.

I know what will happen if they go this route - I will spend much "boring" time building BPCS interfaces to and from this package, and our company may just end up wasting a lot of cash - as we request modifications to fit our specific needs.

Ticks me off - they bring in these vendors and are wowed by "drag and drop" interfaces! Hard to get across to them how little that interface really has to do with the business logic, formulas and databases which must be referenced behind the scenes to build effective integrated systems!

That company is Tuppas Software. If anyone knows anything about them, please email me offline.

Thanks,
Don C.
