Danny:

You may want to do some prototyping to make sure you fully appreciate the 
influence of the GUI interface on workflow in data-input intensive 
workcenters.

We haven't seen the BPCS 8 C/S apps, so they may have addressed the 
productivity gap ... However, time motion studies performed by local 
companies when V6 debuted showed that GUI apps in order entry, shipping 
and other workcenters took as much as 7 times longer to key documents as 
compared to text-based (green screen) apps. At the time, GUI panel designs 
did not leverage the skills of expert data entry clerks as effectively as 
text-based panels.

Of course, if data entry operations have been reduced through EDI, 
scanning and other technologies, this may not be an issue for your 
company.
