RE: Analytical alternative for MAPICS: Vendor- Vanguard Solutions Group, inc.

Patrick,
I agree that your product looks pretty slick but the price tag staggered us
when we looked into it.  With the "base" model starting at $50,000 and a
"generic" model with e-deployment running around $80,000, it was way out of
our ballpark!

Analysis of MAPICS data, like any transaction oriented  ERP system, is
challenging at best. Access to the data through query is complex, and
requires technical knowledge and time.   As an employee of Vanguard
Solutions Group, Inc., I would suggest that you consider the MAPICS
Certified Enterprise Solution:  Graphical Performance Series (GPS) for the
analysis of that mthact information.

I don't want to make a sales pitch, but I think it may be worth a small
investment of time to look into some detail about our approach to data
access, analysis, reporting, and end-user capabilities.  I'm not sure that
we do exactly what you are looking for, but some time on the phone with our
technical folks could discern that pretty quickly.
