RE: Data Collection and Time & Attendance / HR - PERMS

["Reed, Scott" <Scott.Reed@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

We implemented MAPICS about 2 1/2 years ago.  At the time we installed, we
also purchased the MDCC (formerly PLMC Paperless) system from Information
Systems Engineering (ISE).  We have found it to perform quite well.  We are
utilizing touch screen displays in the shop (foundry and machine shop), and
have been very pleased.  We have not yet implemented the PowerBuilder
version.  HR and Payroll are ADP.

All time and attendance and labor report are done utilizing the MDCC
software.  ISE also created a program for us at modest cost to extract
attendance data and populate the files for ADP payroll.  They have also
created a new product (ATM) to replace the old batch select and edit with
online capabilities.  Shift calendars by employee, excellent inquiries, and
on-line transaction correction are just some of the capabilities.  We're
planning to utilize the combination of MDCC and ATM.

To Whom It May Concern:

We are in the process of reviewing different packages for Data Collection
and Time & Attendance - DCSI / HIGHJUMP and HR - PERMS.  Our company is
currently running Mapics/DB, with the old DCSI and PERMS packages and we are
planning to implement Mapics/XA in the next year or so.  In preparation for
that we are looking at what packages are available and the consensus of
users and their thoughts who have implemented or used the newer DCSI /
HIGHJUMP and PERMS packages or other packages, and why they choose them over
HIGHJUMP and PERMS.  The current versions of these packages are ridiculous
and riddled with problems.  So we are looking for as many opinions on the
Data Collection, Time & Attendance and HR systems - as possible.
