Re: mapics 6

I think this should be investigated more with COMMON.  It is exactly this type
of Vendor Presentation that is needed.  I believe COMMON loosened the Vendor
Session restrictions.

I feel applications is what is really missing at COMMON.  Of course, Phil, you
have heard my whining before.

Phil,

It was my understanding that COMMON would not accept any presentations on
a specific software like MAPICS, etc.  All presentations were to be at a
higher level and cover a general area or industry.  Otherwise, I would
have submitted two sessions - one on Customer Service Management (CSM) and
one on the new Pick, Pack, and Ship changes that were released in R6.5.
Did I misunderstand and COMMON would accept presentations on MAPICS
software?

Thanks,

As Gail mentioned, MAPICS had a booth in the EXPO at the last COMMON
conference in New Orleans. It would be interesting to me to hear from
y'all
about your interest in having MAPICS sessions at future COMMON
conferences.
Best Regards,
Phil

BTW, since we are reminiscing, one of my fondest(not!) memories was
hosting
the MAPICS soundoff sessions at COMMON in the early '80s and trying to
explain to the group why it was not a surprise that MAPICS was running
slowly with 20 users on S/38 MOD 3 with .5 MB of memory.

Hey Dave, you forgot to mention SAP  <ggg> Gotta give them equal billing!
:-)
Now from my understanding
that really costs shops money.  As these other companies have downsized,
disappeared, etc., did MAPICS
pick up the pieces.  My bosses keep telling me to get something less
expensive
than MAPICS.  They
really hate ALF .... it is a mighty chunk of change for a small
manufacturing
shop.

What apps do you have to get going in this new job?  WOW, 19 years in
MAPICS!
They're gonna start calling
you "Grampa MAPICS" pretty soon.    I got dubbed "Gramma MAPICS" a while
back.
I've been in MAPICS
shop for 19 also.

Do you feel COMMON should be covering MAPICS at their conferences?  In the
sessions that is, not just the
EXPO?
