Re: Mapics Business Academy Training vs Reading a Book

Mapics University (formerly an independent company) recently combined with
MBA. MU had a fantastic Costing class. The MU people (who have now become
Mapics employees) are in the process of integrating their "workbook"
approach into the MBA classes. I highly recommend Jim Simunek as an
instructor for the costing class. He usually teaches in Atlanta. Call Rob
Raney at 203-267-1100 and ask if Jim is teaching a class.

The book "Costing Happens in Mapics" by Bob Tenney is also excellent, but
is a bit hard to "learn" from. I find it more useful as a background and
reference guide.

Hi Jack Roughgarden:

Thank you for your nice letter and the inquiry you did on my behalf with
the Mapics Business Acadamy.

I have reviewed the course contents carefully and it appears that this
would be a good "first" Mapics course for me.

I will also be on the lookout for a "used" copy of the "Accountants Guide
to the Mapics - DB Financials" and if anyone on the ML has a copy they are
now "tired" of, please let me know.

Regards.....
