BPCS Sizing Issues -Reply

[Paul Bechard <PAUL@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

We went through the same sizing issues and came up with a RISC 530
model 2150, actually bigger than what their sizing recommendations
were!!!.  We have 1 GBytes of main storage, 70GB of disk and
approximately 100 users.  We are on 6.0.4 cum Tape of April which is
their latest release.  I can tell all of you we have been at this with SSA
now since October 1996 and are still not live.  We now have
considerable performance problems on the testing of order entry,
inventory, mrp etc.  SSA has an answer "We have a new sizing
document that will help" yeah!!! Yeah translation "Bigger machine is
needed"  who are we kidding, the bottom line is they at us more
hardware  at their software problem. Hey what about ODW when do we
get product, has anyone tried User/Vision another joke the performance
on that will ring any system to its knees. My quest is to get SSA
implemented and then re-evaluate the entire relationship. In the mean time
more $$$$$ to be spent I'm sure.
