Re: SSA Global acquired by Infor

I received an e-mail this morning from our Infor account manager that told
about it.  It was a bit of a surprise but I'm not complaining.  We have
their AutoRelease product (formerly Future3) for EDI to the auto industry.
It's a decent product that doesn't require a huge staff to support.  There
are areas that could stand a little improvement but then that's usually the
case with just about anything.

They also are the current owners of MAPICS.

This saga never seems to end ...
http://www.ssaglobal.com/documents/SSAGInfor.pdf?hpact=Infor
http://www.infor.com/infor/Company_PressReleases_1170.htm

Here is some interesting history.
http://fscavo.blogspot.com/2004/10/infor-aquires-lilly-software-vendor.html

Do the SSA Global folks on the list have any thoughts?

Does anyone know what products (other than BPCS and PRMS) Infor offers
in our space, and if they have any other System i presence?

Happy Monday!
