RE: BPCS support alternatives

["Rob" <stagis@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Just for the list's information - Mike Bloom said 'as long as you're on an
AS/400 version'.....Nexgen did a great job helping us with a conversion
directly from S/36 (running on our AS/400) to 6.1.  Their ongoing support
far eclipsed that of SSA.

Micki:

We have customers on all versions of BPCS from 2.0 to 6.1.  As long as you
are on an AS/400 version, we can support you.  We also support your
modifications to BPCS.

Incidentally, we will be issuing a press release next week announcing new
packaging of our Help Desk.

Dean:

I can only speak for Nexgen in answering your question.  We have been
supporting BPCS since 1990 and have no intention of leaving this business.
There are still thousands of companies running BPCS that require support.
Nexgen has been providing quality Help Desk support since 1994 and will
continue to do so.

There are alternatives.

Yeah, _BUT_ how long are these companies going to stay in the BPCS business
if Gores doesn't continue to improve and market the product?  They have
mouths to feed, just like you and I...
