MOVEX is by far the best AS/400 based ERP sytem out in
the market today.  Unfortunately it is also one of the
best kept secrets.  The Swedes are great software
developers but horrible marketeers.  They insist on
using their Scandanavian and European marketing model
in North America and they just don't work here.
They've changed CEO's 4 times ( 2 were ex-SSA'ers)and
unfortunately all they did was spend a lot of money
and didn't produce any results.  Intentia's problems
in NA have been all marketing and people problems.
The software is great - just the marketing message
isn't.
