Well, which came first--the chicken or the egg. I'm betting on the egg.
(aka $$$) It's nice that you know what we make so I guess we can save our
money on those spots that we had planned for the next Super Bowl. <g>
Yes, it can be both but if it weren't the drive to be profitable (and trust
me, we are being driven) what would be the point of advancing the
technology? I, personally, work to be profitable. Why does Bill Gates
work? Does he need the money? No, he has satisfied that need and is
working on his higher-level needs, such that as that of advancing
technology. Don't get me wrong. I'm all for advancing technology and
making better products but people have invested money in my company and
they expect a certain level of return. If they aren't meeting their
expectations then they will find people to run the company who can generate
such a return. Infor has invested money in BPCS and will have
expectations. One of those expectations is a certain amount of ROI. They
may have also invest in it because the success of their other products is
dependant upon the success of BPCS. If this is the case then it would
benefit them to advance the BPCS ERP technology.

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.
