RE: For those moving off BPCS

The more info the better, "to Bpcs or not to Bpcs".  We're all in the
same boat, looking for the right solution that is cost effective.  My
company uses BPCS and I'm fine with it.  My gripe relates to their
business practice regarding OGS (holding me captive with 'the key').
Anyway...

Perhaps SSA reads this and will do something about problems 'we'
encounter BEFORE losing customers to other vendors.

I really agree with Sally.  Constructive criticism, problem solving, and
tips & techniques are helpful to all who are using BPCS.
However,.....BPCS
bashing is helpful to whom?

Correct me if I'm wrong - but I thought this was meant to be a BPCS List
...
not an anti-BPCS list?!
