RE: Why did you choose BPCS

["Mark Curtis" <mark.curtis@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dan,

Why did I choose BPCS ....

Value for money, flexibility, openness, easy development, ease of use,
expandability ... and did I mention year 2000 compliance.

We are on Unix/Informix and have written a lot of additional code in VB
using ODBC and making use of SMG's.  The underlying data structure to BPCS
is easy to work with and given a development team very very quick to expand.
We added a whole warehousing system in around 3 months.

And I must agree with George Sagen, on a mailing list used for problem
sharing and solving you will get the impression the system is bug ridden
(which of course it has its share but how many packages can you name that
are bug free ?)

???? Why do you ask ????

I've followed this mail list for about five months now and most of the
comments seem to be rather negative about performance and stability.  I
realize these forums are not always indicative of the entire user base, but
I'm curious what is driving users to choose BPCS or even stay with it.
