Re: to Elisabeth, Re: Overall BPCS performance

Okay. Here goes.  Atlas is a product for the AS/400. It is composed of some
proprietary software (called Ironworks) that sits either on an NT server or
the AS/400 plus a gateway that allows it to "talk" to BPCS. It can integrate
with any version of BPCS. Atlas comes with the basic functionality's of
Order Entry, Order Status, and Product Inquiry, as well as some html based
pages that can be whatever you want.  There is a tool which allows you to
build your own functions.

Ironworks (same basic functions) can be used with Oracle using ODBC.  I am
unsure of whether or not there is a gateway developed already (will find out
proper contacts for Unix platform and post).  If there is a gateway,
implementation takes about 30 days, without a gateway, longer.
How Atlas actually works is a bit of an explanation so I am putting together
a technical document.  I will send it to anyone who emails me as well as
everyone who already has (and just got a brochure) Thanks.
