Are you sure it's always JUST about the money!?

Would you say "Nishikawa Standard Company isn't in business to further the
technological advancement of door and window systems.  They are in business
to be profitable"??

Can't it be both? Doesn't one lead to the other? ;)

It's always about the money.  They aren't in business to further the
technological advancement of ERP systems.  They are in business to be
profitable.  I don't think that they've owned MAPICS long enough to do
anything with it, although I don't keep up on the MAPICS world.  I do know
that Future3/Autorelease has had hooks into the various versions of MAPICS
and BPCS for years so they shouldn't be completely new to it.  I'm
optimistic that they will be good guardians of the product.

A more critical issue is which of these companies, in the merger aquisition
business, are in it purely for the income from companies using the
products, and which are interested in continuing to improve the ERP
aquisitions.  Do we know how well INFOR has serviced the other ERP it has
aquired before SSA's?

When Gores Technology bought out the bankrupted SSA, making it SSA GT, that
was a good thing for the future of BPCS.
