RE: The Future of BPCS

[Dennis Munro <DMunro@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

At this years spring & fall COMMON convention, SSA/GT had a booth & I spent
hours several talking with them.  The discussion covered a lot of ground &
most was centered around Version 8.  We are running Version 6.0.02 full
client server & all I heard was to get off that version & into either 6.1.xx
or 8.  That is a nice thought but changing versions is just not that easy or
cheap.

One thing that was said was SSA is being "cautious" (my choice of words)
about letting version 8 out in mass. The rumor mill has it that SSA did not
run an external test of version 8 & maybe that was the reason for the
comment?

It was interesting because SSA/GT & MAPICS had booths back to back.  Would
have been interested in spending some time with MAPICS to do a little
comparison but.......

Thanks - Dennis.

Subject: The Future of BPCS


It's been nearly a year since BPCS (SSA) was gobbled up by Gores
(GTG). Having left the ERP market last year, I now am returning
to do evals of ERP packages for our small to medium size clients
in the manufacturing space.  Some of our clients (construction
supply companies) have heard that BPCS is "dead".... Any truth
to that?  Can they expect full support for the BPCS product should
they go down that route?
